A set of digitised, interactive media literacy educational resources have been created to help children learn more about media, advertising, fake news and social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between the ages of 8-12 children\u2019s knowledge of the persuasive tactics used in the media is growing. The challenge is that as children become more expert and adept at consuming digital technologies, the nature and form of the commercial messages they see also becomes more sophisticated, stealthy and covert. Children remain vulnerable to the harms and unintended effects of digital media consumption. In response, the Minding Media Educational Resources have been carefully designed to complement the media literacy learning outcomes of the Wellbeing Curriculum in Primary School”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
