This is a free, self-paced, asynchronous course developed by OSPI’s Media Literacy & Digital Citizenship Program Supervisor Lesley James and offered by the AESD EdTech Leads from ESDs 101, 189, 123, and 114.

This course is relevant for any educator working with students in Grades K-5, although it is most relevant for those who provide direct instruction to students. Participants might be educators who are familiar with the range of skills encompassed by Media Literacy & Digital Citizenship and are looking for new strategies for teaching and assessing. Or participants might just be curious about options for teaching and assessing Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship, even if they’re not planning to teach them. 

This course consists of four modules that introduce participants to a curated collection of instructional resources and to suggested strategies for teaching and assessing Media Literacy and Digital Citizenship when working with students in Grades K-5. 

Participants are not required to complete every module; clock hours will be awarded based on modules that are completed. Please note that the clock hours are not STEM clock hours.

Access to the Canvas course is provided after registering on pdEnroller. Course work can be submitted at any time before January 29th, 2027.
