Teaching about media and digital literacy through PSHE education

The PSHE education Programme of Study suggests numerous learning opportunities related to media and digital literacy from key stages 1 to 5. These include looking at how information is stored and used, how to assess the reliability of sources of information, and understanding the influence of extreme views. 

We’ve also really enjoyed being part of NewsWise – an award-winning news literacy project – with the Guardian Foundation and National Literacy Trust. 

Other lesson plans include quality assured lessons from Cifas (on avoiding online fraud) and Media Smart.
