I find the nomenclature genuinely confusing — and only more complex once I try to translate to other countries! Appreciate all you’re building. It is much needed!
Oh, yes. You guys rock! Canada is further along than we are in the states. I am thinking of #middlegrades in the library sense, so instructional grades 3-6. Here in the US, states are starting to pass laws requiring K-12 instruction, but there is a resource gap, esp. as best I can tell with (1/2)
(2/2) digital literacy. My gut is that we should start younger there. But I have a bias! I’m a former HS journalism teacher who felt that AND I wrote a book for this age group in response (also for my son). I tried to back up my opinion w/action, but surely that biases me! ☺️
Also, want to be clear that my implication was not that MediaSmarts ignores younger grades. @matthewfjohnson.bsky.social, I hope my initial post didn’t read that way! Y’all are wonderful and so much appreciated.
