The proliferation of digital technologies (DT) has altered the landscape of education. With DT redefining
traditional structures of information and knowledge dissemination, the challenge within the educational sector is
to be sufficiently informed about practical and realistic ways that DT can be used to enhance the teaching and
learning process. In this paper, we will explain how two university teacher educators (TE) implemented digital
literacy (DL) courses with the intent of promoting digital education leadership (DEL) (Brown, Czerniewicz,
Huang, and Mayisela, 2016). We define DEL as taking a leaderly stance towards digital education (DE) and
advocate for individual as well as shared responsibility for digital practices. Through the notion of DEL, we are
exploring the attitudinal influences of being knowledgeable, open-minded, critical, and ethical in the digital
world. Our work allows us to expand ongoing discourse around DL and DE with the intention of promoting
digital inclusion, equity and wellbeing.// Paper ID 103
