A Project of the City of Boston’s Digital Literacy Initiative (DigLit)
The City of Boston’s Digital Literacy Initiative (DigLit), launched in partnership with World Education, is a multi-year effort that aims to provide Boston residents with the digital literacy skills they need to advance in the workforce. Through DigLit, adult education and occupational skills training providers receive support to build their capacity in delivering quality digital literacy skill training and integrating technology into their programming.

Through DigLit, adult education and occupational skills training providers receive support to build their capacity in delivering quality digital literacy skill training and integrating technology into their programming.
From 2023 to 2026, 25 adult education programs and 20 occupational skills training providers in Boston worked with World Education coaches to develop creative practices to effectively and routinely integrate technology into instruction. Through technology integration, programs sought to use tech tools for teaching and learning, making them an intentional, consistent part of education and training rather than a separate subject. These program and instructional practices are edtech routines: an approach to digital skill-building developed by World Education that provides adults with regular, structured opportunities to enhance their digital skills and confidence to become empowered users of technology.

What are edtech routines?
An edtech routine is a replicable, sustainable, evidence-based digital activity that can be used regularly, regardless of context or content, to teach target digital skills. The consistent, intentional use of edtech routines encourages programs and instructors to leverage technology not only for learning, but also for supporting learner engagement, interaction, and demonstration of knowledge.
Edtech routines are a key concept developed by the Innovating Digital Education in Adult Learning (IDEAL) Consortium at World Education, which supports quality technology-enriched instruction in adult education and literacy programs. Explore the EdTech Integration Strategy Toolkit to learn more.
This Edtech Strategy Routine Library contains more than 90 edtech routines developed by Boston programs. Explore the routines.
