If you were interested in these Children and the Media prompt cards, you can now download them from doi.org/10.25918/mis... They are designed to use with children aged 6-10, but they could be used with older children and young people as well.

How can we support media literacy education in primary school classrooms? My children’s book ‘Max makes a movie’ seeks to help children and teachers learn about the filmmaking process. doi.org/10.25918/fic... #medialiteracyeducation #medialiteracy

🟨New Publication in #LMT 🟪 Here @amandalevido.bsky.social, @aleeshajoy.bsky.social, @dezuanni.bsky.social & Woods report on a study, designed to raise understandings of how to teach children about algorithmic practices through practice-based workshops. Read more (🔓): tinyurl.com/2ucyf7na

ABSTRACT
Children in current times are likely to encounter algorithms, particularly
recommendation systems, as part of their everyday media experiences. In
this paper we consider children’s use of algorithms from a media literacy
perspective, namely through curatorship practices. We detail a pilot
workshop where children had opportunities to develop understandings
and critically reflect on algorithms through non-digital media production.
Children engaged in the process of curation through a series of activities
where they took photos and then curated these images in a variety of
ways. The activity provided opportunities for the children to critically
reflect on algorithms, specifically recommendation systems, in ways that
moved them beyond experience. One part of the pilot was to consider
the inter-relations evident between digital and more traditional texts,
materials and resources and the opportunities afforded when diverse
materials and tools are brought together in the one event. The pilot
explored different activities to help participants consider how algorithms
are part of, and impact, their everyday literacy and media practices.

So incredibly frustrating to see this bill pass, although unsurprising given the cursory attempt (if you can call it that) that went into understanding the anything about this issue.

Banning children and young people from social media is not an appropriate solution and will likely bring a whole new range of problems. See our submission in response to the proposed social media ban below. @tamaleaver.bsky.social @dezuanni.bsky.social @aleeshajoy.bsky.social
