The evolution of literacy education in the digital age has been marked by significant transformations influenced by technological advancements. This paper examines how the integration of digital tools and platforms has reshaped traditional approaches to literacy instruction. It discusses the shift from print-based literacy to digital literacy, highlighting the need for educators to adapt their methodologies to cater to the diverse literacies required in the 21st century. The paper also considers the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital landscape, such as the potential for personalized learning and the necessity for critical thinking skills. Through a synthesis of literature and case studies, the paper argues that while digital literacy has expanded educational horizons, it has also raised questions regarding access, equity, and the preservation of traditional literacy practices.
