### In the lessons

In everyday life and computing lessons, digital means online, electronic, screen-based: digital photos, digital learning, «digital footprint» (the trail of information you leave online). In maths, children read «digital time» like 07:45 and compare it to analogue clocks. In safety lessons «digital safety» means staying safe online. Phrases: «digital clock», «digital camera», «digital footprint», «go digital», «digital world».
