摘要

In a world where technology constantly reshapes ways of learning, playing, working, interacting, and engaging in civic life, digital media literacy is critical. With increased device use, children and teens must develop skills that will help them to be healthy and productive. A limited body of research suggests that increased digital media literacy may mitigate some of the harmful effects of technology on youth. Increased attention to the need for digital media literacy has not fully reached school curricula or state policies. This chapter makes recommendations for research and policy priorities that will support digital media literacy learning across the lifespan.
