Today’s educators are confronted on a daily basis with the challenges of navigating digital resources, tools and technologies with their students. They are often unprepared for the complexities of these challenges or might not be sure how to engage their students safely and responsibly. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for educators looking to make informed decisions and navigate digital spaces with their students. The author sets the stage for educators who may not be familiar with the digital world that their students live in, including the complexities of online identities, digital communities and the world of social media. With deep dives into how companies track us, how the Internet works, privacy and legal concerns tied to today’s digital technologies, strategies for analyzing images and other online sources, readers will gain knowledge about how their actions and choices can affect students’ privacy as well as their own. Each chapter is paired with detailed lessons for elementary, middle and high school students to help guide educators in implementing what they have learned into the classroom.

This work offers general and practical applications for digital and media literacy for educators in K-12 settings. Part 1 ("Digital Literacy") discusses how search engines work, the use of social media, online advertising, user privacy, and legal issues. Within this section, the chapter on social media describes top social media sites used by young people, including a list of common social media abbreviations and terms, and considers the impact that social media can have on young people's mental health. The chapter on online advertising then details how viewers respond to clickbait and how their data is collected, which is followed by a discussion of student privacy and what happens with user information. Part 2 ("Media Literacy") analyzes the veracity of online information, manipulated images, how to detect fabricated news stories, and issues relating to the First Amendment and free speech. Text boxes in each section provide helpful resources for teachers, and detailed lessons located in the appendix provide background information for educators teaching new types of literacies in their classes. This volume covers social media, privacy, and legal issues in greater depth than the MLA Guide to Digital Literacy (CH, Jun'20, xx-xxxx). Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels.
