The media content that children and teens consume and create has a profound impact on their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Learning how to navigate our constantly-changing digital world is an essential skill for life and learning in the 21st century. Through class discussions, activities, videos, and interactive online challenges, the program empowers students to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in our digital world.
