This morning we had a great introductory lesson to media literacy. We started by defining media literacy, and then focused in on thinking about the internet. We brainstormed good things and not so good things, and added our ideas to a Popplet. I was quite impressed by what students already knew.
Next, we played Privacy Pirates, which taught us lots of ways to keep our personal information safe online. The class was pretty smart about talking to a trusted adult if they weren’t sure about something online, but I think it surprised some of them that what you post online could be there forever, or copied by someone and shared another way. The game has different questions each time you play, so this may be one you’d like to play again as a family.
