The complex characteristics of the digital era requires more than just conceptual knowledge. In addition to a so called 21st century skills, 'digital literacy' has been raised to highlight a set of important competencies to cope with the demands of the future era. Digital literacy comprises practical and functional skills, critical thinking and evaluation, creativity, e-safety, proficient communication, collaboration, cultural and social understanding, and information processing. Developing such competencies since early education requires a big role of teacher. By putting the idea of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) into practice, there are three important areas of consideration. First, preparation stage for which teacher should design or prepare technology-based or technology-assisted tasks that focus on exploratory activities. Second, during the implementation stage teachers needs to give proper scaffolding to bring from technical exploration to mathematical exploration. Lastly, the assessment stage for which teachers could use technology to improve efficiency and accessibility. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
