Why Digital Literacy Matters in Today's Education
Digital literacy has become as fundamental as reading, writing, and arithmetic for students. As technology continues to transform every aspect of our lives, students need to develop the abilities to effectively navigate, evaluate, and create in digital environments.
Digital literacy encompasses a wide range of skills—from basic computer operations to advanced critical thinking. It's about understanding how to use technology responsibly, critically evaluate online information, and leverage digital tools for learning and problem-solving. These capabilities are no longer optional; they're essential for academic success, future career prospects, and responsible citizenship in our increasingly connected world.

"Private vs Online Learning: Which Path Fits Your Student?"
In today's educational landscape, parents face more choices than ever when deciding the best learning environment for their children. At Pluris Academy, we understand that each student has unique needs, talents, and learning styles.

As parents navigate these educational pathways, understanding the fundamental differences between these approaches becomes crucial for making informed decisions that align with their children's future success.
The Garage Method: From Steve Jobs to Your Student's Success
Picture this: a cluttered garage in Los Altos, California, 1976. Two young men hunched over circuit boards and soldering irons, dreaming of putting a computer in every home. That garage belonged to Steve Jobs' parents, and from that humble space emerged Apple, now one of the world's most valuable companies. This isn't just a Silicon Valley fairy tale—it's a powerful metaphor for how innovation happens when we give young minds the space, freedom, and encouragement to explore big ideas.
