About this resource
All of us, in Aotearoa New Zealand and across the world, live within an increasingly complex information environment. This environment offers much that is useful, but it can also carry contested information that causes harm. Information of this sort is often referred to as ‘polluted information’.
For schools to be able to foster media and information literacy and digital citizenship in young people, teachers also need to have opportunities to grow these skills and competencies. This resource suite is intended primarily for teachers, however, it also includes a board game with provided teacher support material, to help foster information literacy and digital citizenship in a classroom setting.
This resource offers guidance about:
- key concepts for understanding the information landscape
- effective strategies for fostering resilience and navigating polluted information
- the characteristics of an effective teaching programme
- how you might best use the resource in your school
