Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action

I believe this document is important for educators, parents and other educational stakeholders to read through.  It presents important matters in relation to implementing digital and media literacy into the K-12 curriculum.  The plan explains the term literacy and how its meaning has expanded due to technological advancements that are fast-paced and a necessity to keep up with.  Not only does it give the positive implications of integration but also touches upon the challenges such as addressing the potential risks associated and expanding the basic concept of literacy.

The report outlines the different means available that would allow the integration of media and digital literacy into the world of education such as through parents, educators, students and the community as a whole.  It stresses the importance and benefits of bringing appropriate knowledge and understanding of media and digital literacy into the classroom and educational world.
