📚 Media Literacy Day is here! 📚 In today's digital age, it's essential to be critical consumers of online content. We are surrounded by phones, TV, social media, and more, so it’s important for our kids to learn how to tell different types of news and media apart. When they understand the basics of media literacy, they become critical thinkers and smart consumers who can make good choices about what they see and believe.

👣 Today, it's all about your digital footprint! 👣 What you do online leaves a trace, and understanding this is crucial. Let's teach our kids how to build a positive and responsible digital footprint. As children grow and begin to create their own content or interact with others online, it becomes important for them to understand the tracks they're leaving behind. By fostering open conversations about responsible online behavior, privacy, and the potential long-term consequences of their actions, we can empower our children to make informed decisions in the digital world.

🌐 This week, we're diving into the world of digital citizenship, where we'll explore the importance of digital safety at school and home. Kids today may seem like experts at using technology, but the digital world requires skills and habits that they don’t always pick up as they go. Digital citizenship helps them learn those skills and develop healthy media habits. A good digital citizen starts by being safe, responsible, and respectful online. 💻 Let's empower our students to become responsible digital citizens and make the most of their online experiences.
