This annual event promoting digital media literacy across Canada takes place from October 24–28. Schools, libraries, museums and community groups organize events and activities throughout the week. The teachers’ hub features five days of activities curated around five media literacy themes: use, understand, engage (including activities for Digital Citizen Day), access and verify. There are also special pre-recorded plug and play lessons, led by MediaSmarts experts, covering topics like body image, online hate and identifying what’s real online. Incorporate these digital media literacy activities into your daily activities during Media Literacy Week and beyond. For more ideas and printable activities, visit mediasmarts.ca.
