Navigating Media and Technology with Common Sense

In this episode we welcome Merve Lapus from Common Sense Media, who shares insights into empowering children and families to navigate media and technology responsibly, providing resources and curricula for digital, media, and AI literacy from ages 5 to 18.

We explore the instrumental role of school librarians in teaching digital literacy and supporting inquiry-based learning, and the importance of parents in guiding their children's digital and social media experiences.

Stay tuned for thoughtful discussions on how to instil critical thinking and responsible digital citizenship in students, ensuring they are equipped to thrive in an age of innovation.
