  • Teachers need operational digital fluency more often than advanced technical specialization.
  • Typing has disproportionate value because so much teaching work is text-heavy.
  • Document, spreadsheet, search, and LMS skills appear constantly in real classroom routines.
  • Privacy, accessibility, and file control are part of teacher competence, not optional extras.
  • The best improvement plan starts with the highest-frequency digital bottlenecks.
