Every Day is CyberDay – Digital Media Literacy Skills
Digital media literacy refers to the ability to effectively access, analyze, evaluate, and create digital media in a critical and responsible way. It involves the development of skills, knowledge, and attitudes that enable individuals to navigate and understand the complex digital media landscape, including social media, online news, blogs, podcasts, and other digital platforms.
Digital media literacy involves a range of competencies, including the ability to assess the credibility and reliability of digital sources, to distinguish between fact and opinion, to identify bias and propaganda, to protect personal information online, and to use digital tools and platforms to communicate and create content effectively.
Digital media literacy is becoming increasingly important in the digital age, as the proliferation of digital media has made it more challenging for individuals to navigate the abundance of information available online. Developing digital media literacy skills is essential for individuals to participate fully in the digital world, to make informed decisions, and to engage critically with digital media in a responsible and ethical way.
