"Digital and Media Literacy in the Age of the Internet
provides guidance for teachers who recognize they have had a very
different learning experience than their students. There are statistics
on screen time, social media use, what you should watch out for, and
ways to support young people in becoming responsible content creators.
There’s advice on what you should know about privacy, laws, and holding companies accountable. There’s information on topics such the implications of teaching with technological developments like the Internet
of Things. There’s also material to help teachers understand and
explain to parents what their children should know at each grade level.
This includes essential questions written in plain language to help
guide student learning. Mary Beth Hertz’s book
provides practical examples, lessons, research, and the benefits and
challenges teachers face in the exciting and always-changing landscape
of digital teaching and learning."
