In connection with lifelong learning perspectives, the studies of Abdellaoui and

Achouche (2022) have lit views of English as a second/foreign language (EFL) teachers

and third-year students at street names of Algerian secondary schools to explore the

general literacy in technology. What the use of this study is to highlight meanings and

implications of technology literacy needed for educational praxis within lifelong learning

by revealing the way technology is positioned to frame experiences.

Anagwo (2024) gives ICT and Liturgy as one of the pertinent areas that must be

integrated, pointing out that digital technologies act as a glass to religious practice

changes in the African context. Through the use of digital media, Anagwo investigates

the relationship between ICT and liturgy in a plinth that throws light on the non-static

environment intrinsic to aspects of both religious practice and spiritual expression in the

digital age.

Drapeau (2014) avails some practical strategies for fostering creativity in students within

education-making agents. Drapeau advises transformational teaching styles in ensuring

that students are asked and directed toward expressing their full creative potential through

collaborative projects and activities of engaging and innovative problem-solving

approaches. Drawing from research in educational practice, it is advised that

transformational teaching styles be adopted.

Pereira and Moura (2019) discuss at length the matter of Portuguese youth media literacy

competences, respecting the analysis of the role of the media messages. This study has,

therefore, gone a long way in helping understand the media literacy education initiatives,

mostly in fostering critical thinking amongst the youths in this digital age.

Polizzi (2020) shows that critical digital literacy is very important in applying the

democratic essence in forming informed and willful citizens, particularly in the digital

age. "Adjudicating critical digital literacy as the essential constituent feature of

democratic societies," Democrats, insists Polizzi, "emphasize that one has to be prepared

with competencies for navigation and evaluative aptitudes in the digital media landscape.
