    I do believe that digital literacy is extremely important for the future and introducing this at a young age will make it much easier for children to be prepared for the future.

    I think it should be because, despite the digital world surrounding us constantly, relatively few people seem to know how the technology operates. Know your enemy.

    Digital literacy plays just as important a role in society as normal literacy does these days. Schools have one main purpose: prepare students for the world. This seems to be a key part of that.

    Yes, definitely. As the internet continue to be more and more important part of our lives, it makes sense to teach kids how to engage with it safely.

    Yes. It’s not a bad idea to teach this. There are some pros, but essentially no cons.

    Media literacy is incredibly important to teach in schools, especially as kids grow up with more access to electronics and the internet. They must be taught the skills necessary to digest what they see.

      As you said teaching media literacy at schools is a good way to prepare children and help them navigate the torrent of information they get daily.
      Although digital literacy is taught at schools some way or another (it is almost unavoidable) I think there needs to be a more established approach to how to teach it.
