One area for which I'm always searching for more resources and information is resources that can be shared with parents and families to support the digital citizenship learning students are doing in the library. Just because most parents many parents are comfortable with technology, that doesn't 'mean they know how to talk to their children about internet safety and ethics. This includes a good list of resources that are available.

This provides a fantastic list of resources for parents (or teachers) to utilize to support the teaching of digital citizenship skills! I'm always looking for tools to share with our families to help them better understand their role in creating good digital citizens at home.

Part of a video series that covers broad topics in education in short, entertaining videos - think the "Cliff Notes" version. It would be a great introduction to a unit for students, as well as teachers to enhance their knowledge of a subject. I would recommend it for upper elementary - high school. The particular video is on Media Literacy, but there are tons of other videos too - science, math, STEAM, theater & drama, etc. There are over 8 million subscribers to their channel, so they must be good! :-)

This YouTube series explains what media literacy is, its history, and why it's important. I would use this to teach teachers and new librarians. I would also use it to teach media literacy at the secondary level.
