Bill > HCR53

This Concurrent 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 emphasizes that these skills are crucial for students, especially given their increased reliance on digital devices for learning and communication, and that instruction should be integrated across all grade levels and subjects to prepare them for the digital world. The Department is specifically asked to include best practices, resources, and models for age-appropriate teaching of media literacy, digital citizenship, and internet safety, and a copy of this resolution will be sent to the Superintendent of Education.
