Internet Literacy Handbook: Supporting Users in the Online World Year of publication: 2017 Author: Janice Richardson | Elizabeth Milovidov | Martin Schmalzried Corporate author: Council of Europe Since the first edition of the Internet Literacy Handbook was issued in 2003 the world of the Internet has changed tremendously. The number of Internet users has risen; users are increasingly younger, trends in how people use the Internet and what they are looking for evolve, and new pitfalls in, for example, personal security arise seemingly overnight.This new edition takes into account the myriad changes, although the object of the Handbook still remains, namely to offer families, educators and policy-makers sufficient technical know-how to allow them to navigate, with young people, through communication technology. The new edition also expands the scope of the Fact sheets anchoring previously “new” concepts of digital citizenship and digital parenting. This edition includes 26 Fact sheets arranged under 6 thematic headings including a heading specifically dedicated to “Looking Forward” towards the future of the Internet. The Handbook is designed to be easy to use and helpful, as illustrated by the Fact sheet entitled “Finding quality information on the Web”. It is also available online, where it can be downloaded either in its full format or per individual factsheet. Manuel de maîtrise de l'internet: Accompagner les utilisateurs dans le monde en ligne Year of publication: 2017 Author: Janice Richardson | Elizabeth Milovidov | Martin Schmalzried Corporate author: Conseil de l'Europe Depuis la publication de la première édition du Manuel de maîtrise d’Internet en 2003, le monde en ligne a beaucoup changé. Les Internautes sont de plus en plus jeunes, leur nombre a augmenté, leurs usages d’Internet et l’objet de leurs recherches évoluent et de nouveaux dangers, par exemple en matière de sécurité individuelle, apparaissent chaque jour. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de ces nombreux changements mais conserve son objectif, qui est de donner aux familles, aux enseignants et aux décideurs politiques des connaissances techniques suffisantes pour pouvoir naviguer, avec les jeunes, dans le monde des technologies de la communication. La nouvelle édition étend également le contenu des Fiches d’information aux concepts qui étaient alors «nouveaux» de citoyenneté numérique et de parentalité numérique, ce qui porte le nombre de fiches à 26, organisées en six thématiques dont l’une est spécialement consacrée à l’avenir d’Internet. Le manuel se veut convivial et pratique, comme l’illustre la fiche intitulée « Trouver de l’information de qualité sur le web ». Il est également accessible en ligne où il peut être téléchargé dans son intégralité ou fiche par fiche.

Snapshot 2019: The State of Media Literacy Education in the U.S. Year of publication: 2019 Author: Sherri Hope Culver | Theresa Redmond Corporate author: National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) Since 2015, NAMLE’s membership has grown from about 300 members to over 5,000 members, signifying a remarkable expansion of interest in and demand for media literacy education. Despite general awareness of the persuasive nature and pervasive inclusion of media in our lives, media literacy education has not been formerly prioritized in U.S. education efforts. Yet, several recent trends indicating progress and development are important to mention:– Growth– Inclusion in Standards– Legislative Involvement– AwarenessDespite broad agreement about the need to ensure that people of all ages are equipped to understand and negotiate the influence of media in their lives, the United States does not devote any significant government effort, nor funding, for media literacy education research, training, or implementation. While funding initiatives have benefits and drawbacks, decades of grassroots advocacy has not been enough to establish media literacy education as a foundational or core dimension of schooling.This SNAPSHOT is a step towards that goal.

Life After Youth Media: Insights About Program Influence Into Adulthood Year of publication: 2014 Author: Suniya Farooqui | Amy Terpstra Corporate author: Social IMPACT Research Center * Do the skills, attitudes, and behaviors imparted in youth programs "stick" into adulthood? * If they do, how do they manifest in career, education, and life decisions? * How do the skills, attitudes, and behaviors that youth programs try to impart differ based on program intensity or levels of engagement? * Do these elements look different for people who went through youth media programs versus people who went through other types of youth programs? These are common questions that youth program providers, funders, public officials, and other leading thinkers regularly wrestle with. This report tells the story of a group in Chicago committed to providing quality youth media programming in the city and how, through a collective evaluation, they were able to begin to answer these critical questions. 
Methodology: Using Digital Media for Youth Engagement and Active Citizenship Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Yep4Europe Consortium The training methodology “Find-Tell-Act” is the main output of the Youth e-Perspectives on Migration project. The project aimed at empowering young people to address sensitive contemporary societal issues (in our case migration and the refugee crisis) and at the same time to improve their digital and media skills. In this way, digital and technical skills developed in parallel with social values like active citizenship.For this purpose, we developed and implemented this methodology for a non-formal training course based on blended learning. The main part of the methodology is implemented as face-to-face activities. It includes four interrelated digital media modules (or, as we call them, workshops):Digital JournalismDigital PhotographyDigital StorytellingOnline Platforms,in which refugee crisis was our main theme. The methodology can be applied to any other “hot” societal topic that young people are faced with.Learn more about the project on the project website.
