An organization focused on reducing prejudice and supporting

equitable school experiences for all students is pointing educators

to a set of resources that will help them teach digital literacy

in their schools.

Teaching Tolerance, a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, 

has defined digital literacy as a kind of "civic literacy,"

enabling people to identify faulty information online,

participate meaningfully in online communities,

resist malevolent forces online, use the internet for good and

understand the online landscape.

The timing isn't simply coincidental.

The organization noted the "plethora of new information on just

how damaging fake news can be to democracy."

By providing the free K-12 lessons, the project said it hopes to

outfit teachers to help their students "become better consumers

and disseminators of online information."

The "Teaching Tolerance Digital Literacy Framework" covers

seven areas where students need to develop their digital and

civic literacy skills:

• Locating and verifying reliable sources of information
  by being able to eval‎uate them for reliability and bias;
• Understanding how digital information comes to them
  through search algorithms;
• Engaging constructively in digital communities
  by showing inclusivity and empathy during
  group communications and calling out bias or hate;
• Grasping how their online activities affect privacy and
  security by being able to monitor
  their digital footprint and knowing how to stay safe online;
• Knowing how to produce or remix content for sharing;
• Recognizing their roles as customers in online marketplaces;
  and
• Identifying how to use the internet "as a mechanism of civic action."

"Teaching Tolerance's mission is to educate students
for a diverse democracy.
We want students to find strength in diversity,
recognize injustice and learn how to take informed action,"
said Director, Maureen Costello, in a prepared statement.
"Their ability to navigate the digital space and
use it productively is a key skill.
They can use technology to build community and
make change, or they can absorb misinformation and
hate delivered to their devices.
We think digital literacy is essential for
our diverse democracy to thrive."
