While we are about five years apart in our parenting journey (her with a pre-teen, myself with a teenager) we found we had common ground in giving careful consideration to how we supported digital literacy for our children. As we explored this topic together of building digital literacy in young learners, we realized just how important and complex this is as an educational <em>and <\/em>social justice issue. Truth be told, we probably could have written ten times as much on this topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a non-image (PDF) image of this infographic for accessibility purposes, please see the link at the bottom of this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you learn about digital literacy? If you are a parent, guardian, mentor, or teacher to young people &#8211; is this something you actively teach?<\/strong> I&#8217;m interested to hear other people&#8217;s opinions on this topic. For myself, we got our first home computer (a comodore 64!) when I was an early teen (1993), and didn&#8217;t have home internet until the year I started my undergraduate program (1999). When I became a parent, I sought out teachable moments when I could mentor for my child the joys, cautions, and dangers of online spaces. I look forward to hearing others&#8217; perspectives on this topic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_1of2-410x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240 lazyload\" width=\"587\" height=\"1466\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_1of2-410x1024.png 410w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_1of2-120x300.png 120w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 587px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 587\/1466;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_2of2-410x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-241 lazyload\" width=\"587\" height=\"1467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_2of2-410x1024.png 410w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_2of2-120x300.png 120w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_2of2-768x1920.png 768w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_2of2-614x1536.png 614w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1_2of2.png 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 587px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 587\/1467;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1.pdf\">Accessibility Link: 521_Unit4Assignment1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0277\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/259\/2023\/05\/521_Unit4Assignment1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I had the pleasure of working with Jessica &#8211; a fellow MALAT student, corporate trainer, and thoughful parent &#8211; on the following assignment.
