Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship
The AESD/OSPI EdTech team is collaborating to provide our school districts with media literacy and digital citizenship resources and professional learning opportunities. Please see the current options provided below and check back regularly to view additional resources.
OSPI Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship
The OSPI Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship website highlights that Media literacy and digital citizenship are overlapping content areas that should be integrated into every subject taught in today’s classrooms. The media literacy and digital citizenship learning standards can lead students to think critically about the messages they consume and create through a variety of forms of communication. Those associated with digital citizenship enable students to use technology in ways that are safe, responsible, ethical, and kind.
