ACM Trends Report #7.1 & #7.2 are now available! ACM Trends 7.1 focuses on digital media as one educational tool in the museum toolkit. When designed well, virtual programming and online experiences can facilitate meaningful learning moments in early childhood. Read the full report here: https://buff.ly/3xv1PPh ACM Trends 7.2 builds on the former report by looking at empirical questions that must inform design: how often children use media, which children use media, and where children use media.

Exposing kids/students to addictive and harmful technologies, even at the youngest ages, in the name of “teaching skills” is clearly a twisted version of media literacy (ML). Our foundation will continue to advocate for ML education that BOTH protects AND empowers children (especially the youngest of them). To that end, the screen-free schools movement is a self-evidently much-needed course correction. It’s beyond the pale to me that so-called ML professionals stand in opposition to such common-sense measures. In fact, our current situation represents an opportunity to practice *actual* media literacy. Teaching students to be critical of addictive media before we expose them to it is just common sense. Movies and TV shows are better without the product placement. ML would be, too. We look forward to finding a ML civic organization looking to try it. Educators can and should stand in solidarity with anyone trying to protect children. Fairplay, for example, is one of our allied organizations (ie, grantees) and we’re proud of what they are doing.

Mental play with dots: How many? And what's your favourite way of knowing? ;) We love dot number talks as a way to get everyone involved in mathematical discussion and reasoning.
