The ABCs of Media Literacy: Reading, Writing, and Reasoning for Young Children in a Digital World
In a media literacy education approach, it’s not about counting minutes spent with screens; it’s about making the minutes we spend with screens count. In a full and lively day, we’ll model the inquiry and reflection we expect to use with children by engaging in conversations, interactive presentations, and activities to explore:
- How to use media literacy education methods to provide the foundation that young children need to thrive in the digital world
- How to integrate technology in ways that foster curiosity, creativity, communication and collaboration (hint: it’s not just about finding the right app)
- How our approach changes when we think of librarians as Chief Inquiry Officers
- How to design and implement your own inquiry-based media literacy activities
- How to serve as media mentors for families
- How to respond to objections about media and young children without abandoning our own concerns
Rather than distributing hard copies, handouts for the workshop will be shared via Google Drive and we’ll use that platform to exchange ideas during the day, so BYOD (bring your own device). And be prepared for a thought-provoking and engaging day!
