Program Complete: Catharine Elementary Digital Literacy Results

Our digital literacy program at Catharine Elementary has officially concluded — and every student passed the final assessment.

At the start of the program, most students had never sent an email, used Google Translate independently, or navigated online learning tools on their own. Over the course of our weekly sessions, they built those skills step by step: composing messages, communicating across languages, practicing internet safety, and learning how to use technology to solve real problems.

By the final class, every student was able to:

• Send a complete email independently
• Translate between languages to communicate clearly
• Access and use online educational resources on their own

Because they demonstrated full mastery of these skills, each student was able to keep the computer they trained on.

The most meaningful outcome wasn’t the test itself — it was the confidence in the room. Students who were hesitant to touch a keyboard in week one were helping each other troubleshoot, drafting messages without assistance, and asking what they could learn next.

This program began as an idea to close a basic access gap. It ended with a classroom full of students who now have both the tools and the ability to use them.

This is the standard TutrMePrep will continue to build toward:
skills that translate to daily life, programs that create independence, and impact that lasts beyond the final session.
