The digital world offers enormous benefits to us all. Children from a young age are introduced to platforms that allow them to connect and collaborate. It opens up opportunities to learn about new and important issues and empowers them in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.

Digital literacy is necessary to become digital citizens. It\u00a0requires critical thinking skills, an awareness of the necessary standards of behavior expected in online environments, and an understanding of the shared social issues created by digital technologies.

Following are a few of the open resources that educators and educational leadership can utilize to teach digital literacy and citizenship to students.

1. Project Evolve – Digital Literacy and Citizenship with SWGfL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProjectEVOLVE resources each of the 330 statements from the UK Council for Internet Safety’s (UKCIS) framework \u201cEducation for a Connected World\u201d<\/span><\/a> with perspectives; research; activities; outcomes; supporting resources and professional development materials. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The toolkit is based on the UKCIS framework \u201cEducation for a Connected World\u201d (EFACW) that covers knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes across eight strands of our online lives from early years right through to eighteen. These outcomes or competencies are mapped to age and progressive.This vast library of content is managed by an innovative new engine, designed by the brilliant SWGfL Webteam, that not only makes navigating the content intuitive but allows users to personalise the content they collate.

3. Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers from UNESCO<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


UNESCO issued its Model Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Curriculum in 2011, which harmonises information, media, and digital competencies under the umbrella term of \u201cMIL\u201d. This flagship resource was updated in 2021 to cover new developments in the digital domain including artificial intelligence, the emergence of new concepts such as digital citizenship education, and the exponential rise in disinformation and online hate speech.

Digital literacy should be the fourth pillar of a child\u2019s education alongside reading, writing and mathematics and taught accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
