Children are using technology earlier than ever—for schoolwork, games, videos, and communication. In Library, students learn how to be safe, kind, and responsible online.
When kids learn these skills early, they are better prepared to avoid problems like online bullying, unsafe websites, sharing personal information, or forming unhealthy screen habits.
Media literacy teaches children how to understand and think critically about what they see online, on TV, or in games.
Media literacy helps students learn:
That not everything online is true
The difference between facts, opinions, and advertisements
Why people create videos, posts, or ads (to inform, persuade, or sell)
How images and videos can be edited or misleading
