This Resolution requests the Department of Education to create programs and educational opportunities to improve media literacy, which is the ability to analyze, evaluate, access, and create media, and to promote 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 advocates for integrating instruction in these areas into all classrooms and curricula from kindergarten through twelfth grade to prepare students for the digital world. It also specifies that these programs should incorporate best practices, resources, and models for age-appropriate instruction in media literacy, digital citizenship, and internet safety, and a certified copy of this resolution will be sent to the Superintendent of Education.
