In 2006 the European Parliament recognized Digital Literacy as one of the eight key competences that every European citizen should master, and as one of the four foundational skills for learning. Further, enhancing Digital Literacy is one of seven pillars in the European Commission’s 2020 Digital Agenda for Europe

  • 58% of 13-17 year olds had met the perpetrator of the online risk face to face.
  • People found that the internet overall was a “civil” place but there were “strong concerns over safety, both today and in the future”.

  1. Consider the various dimensions of media literacy
  2. Understand why media literacy and its different dimensions are important for children and young people
  3. Understand how media literacy links to some topical issues such as fake news, data privacy, and copyright.
  4. Develop ideas how to develop media literacy with your students.


]]> 2017-04-22 21:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/annamariairto/w6h5amkiup9m/wish/167649977 2.1 What is media literacy? annamariairto https://padlet.com/annamariairto/w6h5amkiup9m/wish/167650003 “Media literacy allows us to exercise critical thinking, while participating in the economic, social and cultural aspects of society and playing an active role in the democratic process.”
European Commission, 2017

Media literacy has many different definitions. From an educational point of view, it typically refers to teaching and learning about how to access, analyse, evaluate and create media messages – both offline and online. As such, it provides you with a powerful tool to equip pupils for risks and opportunities in the digital world.

"We observe that young people are facing a dilemma. Although they assume that social networks are not trustworthy, they are their main resources for information. Young people are aware of this contradiction, but they don't know how to deal with it."

Douglass Rushkoff, 2011

THIS GUY  MADE A FORTUNE WITH OUR STORYTELLING!!!

In a digital age – and perhaps more so than ever before – business interests underlie our online media consumption patterns, which are largely taking place on platforms manufactured by large global corporations. As explained in the video below, we are increasingly giving our data away in return for “free” online services. Or, to use an infamous phrase, “if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product”. 


From a media literacy point of view, this means that pupils need to learn to recognise the commercial interests that are at stake in media production, and the ways in which profits are typically generated.

The project aims to develop social and emotional learning skills as a means of building resilience in young people so that they can better understand and become more responsible and effective for their on- and offline social interactions.

  • Disinhibition – the lack of visual cues (in some online communication) can reduce empathy. The absence of body language, tone of voice, context and facial expressions can lead to people saying things online that they would never do in a face-to-face situation. 
  • Persistence and searchability – the internet provides a permanent searchable archive. Anything which goes online can stay online. 
  • Replicability – the internet provides the ability to copy and paste from anywhere to anywhere. In terms of online identity this can be problematic as a message or image intended for one person can easily be replicated and accessed by others. Users need to be able to trust the people they share content with. At another level the proliferation of free download sites such as putlocker, popcorn time and moveitube have led to widespread piracy and copyright violations with many young people thinking that it is acceptable to download content as it’s on the internet, I didn’t put it there so it must be okay.
  • Scalability – as Justine Sacco discovered a careless tweet can change your life. She was making a business trip to South Africa and before she boarded her flight sent a tweet that she thought was amusing, making a comment about AIDS in Africa. It was very racist and offensive. Before her plane had landed in Cape Town she had been sacked but she had also become an internationally renowned hated figure. Her life has completely changed as a result. Her name was trending on Twitter for quite some time with millions of people appalled at what she had said. The viral nature of communication on the internet can be scary when it doesn’t work in your favour.
  • Invisible audiences – if you post something publicly it is impossible to know who is watching or reading. It is very important to remember that not everyone will agree with you or see things from your point of view.
  • Blurring of public and private – boundaries are unclear online. Although an individual may post something privately to a small group of followers, they can easily repost or retweet with unintended consequences

    “The internet has become an important vehicle for promoting racism and intolerance.”
    ECRI annual report, 2015

    The internet has become an important vehicle for promoting racism and intolerance. Hate speech through social media is rapidly increasing and has the potential to reach a much larger audience than extremist print media were able to reach. As discussed in previous modules, because of its anonymous nature, people are also likely to say things online which they would not say in person.

    An overwhelming 82% of 13-18s said they have seen something hateful on the internet about a certain group in the last year, which made them angry (37%), sad (34%) or shocked (30%).

    Violent radicalisation online is a complex process whereby individuals, through their online interactions and exposure to various types of internet content, come to view violence as a legitimate method of solving social and political conflicts. Some of those violently radicalised via the internet may go on to commit acts of terrorism.

    The term counterspeech refers to responses or content that is created to counter a range of extremisms and hate speech online. A counter-narrative is a tool to challenge the ideologies, narratives and stories of violent extremists. The purpose of a counter-narrative is to discredit, deconstruct and demystify extremist messages. They can do this by using logical or factual arguments or using satire and humour. They can be as specific or nuanced, as direct or indirect, as the person or group creating them wants to make them.

    We have pointed to the important role education, civil society actors and social media platforms play in protecting an empowering children and young people online. Yet, governments have the final responsibility to make sure there is a robust system of law enforcement and criminal law sanctions in place against illegal hate speech and online content, contact or conduct promoting extremism or terrorism.
