21st Century Literacies
Integrating Digital and Media Literacies into the School Day
Digital Literacy in Action
Students learn to harness the power of digital resources as they progress from one grade to the next. They are guided to explore the world through online tools and unleash their own creativity while learning safe, efficient, and productive practices to navigate through, evaluate, synthesize, and communicate using the expanse of resources available to them.
Media Literacy in Action
Students learn to not only utilize various forms of media in their learning, but also increasingly understand how to evaluate, synthesize, and communicate their findings through media to peers and teachers.
