Five brand new lesson plans are now available to accompany Reality Check: our fact-checking and authentication resources which include a game, videos and tip sheets.

This brand new lesson plan explores how young people can use online media for activism. Through the discussion and scenarios, students will develop their knowledge and ability to “push back” against issues they feel passionate about.

Art Exchange (Grades 9-12) The purpose of the lesson is to facilitate and develop youth art as a form of community engagement and give students the opportunity to explore their experiences with privacy and equality in networked spaces.

The Digital and Media Literacy Outcomes section of our website shows how our resources meet curriculum outcomes for different subjects in each province and territory.
