Today's elementary students are exposed to a constant and rapidly-evolving stream of media, including television, movies, radio, game, music, and video streaming applications.

While they may receive instruction on how to turn on their device, how to log in to a particular application, and how to use the search bar to find something of interest, it is evident in the classroom that students are not necessarily understanding, evaluating, discussing, questioning, and reframing what they are experiencing through the media. Rather they are scrolling, "like"ing, possibly commenting, and reacting to media in superficial ways that expose them to misinformation and a limited perspective of the rapidly evolving digital world.
