Twenty-first century learners face challenges to their health, safety and educational success that extend beyond those their parents and grandparents faced – in part, because of the digital age in which they were born. The immersion of the Internet and other technologies into their daily lives has altered the way these digital natives learn and communicate. Along with a positive impact on learning, these technologies present new risks to their health and safety, including the dangers of online sexual solicitation, cyber-bullying and online harassment, and increased availability of harmful, problematic and illegal content. More than ever before, it is vital that schools provide students with experiences that enable them to develop the capacity to obtain, interpret, and understand basic health information and services and the competence to use such information and services in ways that enhance their health and reduce their health risks. In other words, schools should help students become health literate.
