Media Literacy Week 2021

Media Literacy Week 2021

Every Monday I share a different ed tech quote on our Thompson Classroom social media pages for our staff to consider.  In honour of Media Literacy week, which runs from October 25-30, this week’s Mantra is:

Media Literacy Week, 51% of Canadian students, grade 4-12, indicated they wish their teachers taught them more about how to tell if online information is true

If you are new to Media Literacy Week, Media Smarts describes it as:

Media Literacy Week is an annual national campaign hosted by MediaSmarts and the Canadian Teachers Federation to promote digital and media literacy, with activities and events taking place in classrooms, libraries, museums and community groups from coast to coast to coast.”
