Our Mission:

To realise the Internet’s potential to benefit society – as something that informs, instructs and enlightens.

Digital Disruption is a specialist education project that develops and distributes the tools and training to improve young people’s critical digital judgement skills. Digital judgement combines ‘traditional’ critical thinking skills, such as source verification, with ‘new’ knowledge about how the digital world works, such as understanding search engines and YouTube.

We also equip educators with the skills and resources they need, yet often lack, to effectively teach digital judgement in the classroom.
