Since we have a culture that criticises young people for going online and all they do there, I was left wondering what all this digital skills training is for. Jobs that haven’t been invented yet? Getting ahead of your peers? Becoming an influencer? Being kind online?
Of course, I myself do not doubt our purpose in promoting media literacy. But I do urge that we articulate and reflect on this purpose. Such reflection matters not least because research shows that media literacy takes people in many directions, not all of them kind or civil.
That's good stuff right there.
