Class 8 Computer and Digital Literacy

Supplementary resource: NCERT’s current Class 8 catalogue does not list a Computer textbook. Follow your school’s prescribed syllabus; these foundations support safe, responsible use of digital tools.

Core learning topics

  1. Digital citizenship: communicate respectfully, check before sharing, and consider the impact of online actions.
  2. Privacy and security: use long unique passwords, keep one-time codes private, recognize suspicious links, and ask a trusted adult when uncertain.
  3. Algorithms: describe a task as clear ordered steps; test edge cases and improve steps that fail.
  4. Data and spreadsheets: distinguish labels from values, organize records in tables, and check formulas against a small example.
  5. Networks and the web: understand that devices exchange data through networks and evaluate online claims using source, date, and corroboration.
  6. Responsible technology: consider accessibility, screen breaks, energy use, copyright, and the personal information an app requests.
