The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child is seeking to understand the ways young children use digital technology, including how they develop media literacy.
How do children make sense of algorithms in their everyday lives?
How do young children in the early years of school develop understandings of the key concepts of media literacy and how teachers in the early years can support children?
This session will provide insight into the current state of media literacy education in Australia across schools and some out-of-school contexts.
