Smart Media

Smart Learners critically examine information online 

• Evaluate currency, accuracy, reliability and purpose of online content

• Know how to verify online information

• Analyse the construction of digital media 

• Consider how we construct our own media

The Kawa of Care supports empowering our young people as smart learners to:

•  make the most of this opportunity to learn lots of new things and to share these with others.

•  always be in the right place, at the right time when online and if in doubt  ask their teacher or parent.

To achieve this learners need to be media literate and develop their ability to analyse, evaluate and respond to  various forms of media. This includes understanding what media is, making informed judgements about media and most importantly, creating and sharing their own media.
