The concept of Digital Literacy was introduced by PaulGilster in 1997 [11]. He describes Digital Literacy as “the ability to understand and useinformation in multiple formats from a wide variety of sources when it is presented viacomputers”. Gilbert wrote his book in a time in which understanding digital literacy was to havethe “technical skills” to use a computer and browse the Internet. Nowadays, it can be extrapolatedto a broader framework [12] that not only combines technical skills but also competencies, suchas problem-solving and design thinking, to interact

At Florida Atlantic University we have also observed that there are students who havealready taken calculus courses but are still having trouble understanding key concepts inmathematics, such as discontinuity, limits, integration, and differentiation. In order to adapt tostudents’ new learning preferences, efforts must be made to further modify teaching methods.Instructors must add value to classrooms and on-line lessons, in particular by introducingdifferent approaches to concept comprehension. This paper focuses on introducing the concept of discontinuity by linking it to dailyexperiences using relevant and
