Bill > SR22

This Resolution requests the Department of Education to create programs and educational opportunities aimed at improving media literacy, which is the ability to analyze, evaluate, access, and create media, and promoting digital citizenship, which includes media literacy along with online safety and responsibility. The resolution highlights the increasing importance of these skills due to the widespread use of digital devices, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic shifted learning online, and emphasizes that students from kindergarten through twelfth grade need to learn how to use technology responsibly and make sound judgments in the digital world. It further requests that these programs incorporate best practices, resources, and models for age-appropriate instruction in media literacy, digital citizenship, and internet safety, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Superintendent of Education.
