Announcing the Digital and Media Literacy Toolbox

We have something special for you this Canadian School Library Day. It’s been cooking for a while and it’s ready for the table.

Introducing CSL’s Digital and Media Literacy Toolkit.

Led by the work of Tracy Krys (Director of Instruction, Abbotsford School District, BC) and Jennifer Casa-Todd (Author, CSL Board Member, Social Media Maven), the DML toolbox brings forward our vision for positive focused digital and media literacy. The core idea behind this is to help educators locate resources and understand how to approach digital and media literacy through a positive focused lens, focused on what students Think, Feel and Do with respect to the digital world around them.

This has been a labour of love that has taken over a year to complete. A big thank you to everyone who came to the feedback panel at OLA’s Super Conference in January. That gave us a lot of directions for improvement that has resulted in the toolbox as it stands today.

We have chosen to present it as a live Canva link so that the toolbox can be changed and refined over time as a living document.
