- According to Media Smarts.ca, Digital Literacy is more than technological know-how; it includes a wide variety of ethical, social and reflective practices that are embedded in work, learning, leisure and daily life.
We've posted a couple of items to kick off this topic:
- A "Digital Citizenship" infographic that summarises a few key points
- A graphic novel on social media use - perfect for 'tweens and teens. Feel free to download and share this one!
Check back through the week as we will be posting resources all week long.
