Digital and Media Literacy go hand in hand as they often are intertwined in one another.

Children do not know or understand the dangers that come along with using their digital devices online and it is important that they become critical of what their are reading, viewing or listenting to. My top 10 Digital and Media Literacy Skills for kids: 1. Patience 2. Reflect 3. Evaluate 4. Exlpore 5. Control 6. Audience 7. Purpose 8. Authorship 9. Navigate 10. Create |
