E4S Cornerstones Explained

Defining Digital & Media Literacy

It is important that in modern Britain, young people grow up having been taught the skills and knowledge to be able to navigate ever changing digital technology and explore the positive contributions the internet creates, whilst also ensuring that they are critical thinkers, can recognise risk and develop effective strategies for staying safe online.

These digital and media literacy cornerstone overview pages provide high level conceptual information about elements of digital and media literacy and links to guidance, training and generic teaching resources. E4S Subscribing schools can access more comprehensive information and quality assured resources mapped against the cornerstone concepts and themes. These can be found within the E4S Pathway pages.
