Media Literacy Week

November 2nd to November 6th is Media Literacy Week.

Media Literacy Week is an opportunity to promote media literacy as a key component in the education of young people and to encourage the integration and the practice of media education in Canadian homes, schools and communities.

This year’s theme is Media Literacy in the Digital Age and it will emphasize the multiple literacy skills needed by today’s youth for accessing, evaluating, repurposing, creating and distributing media content to successfully navigate their digital media world. How do they find, evaluate and make sense of online information? Do they know how to protect their privacy online, stay safe using social networks and be good digital citizens?

For more information as well as lesson plans and activity ideas for the classroom, please visit www.medialiteracyweek.ca
