New Blog Post by SLIC and MIL event

 

This week we had a new blog post on the project, published by the Scottish Library and Information Council. Please have a look and let us know what you think. You will be able to find some data from our study in schools together with an overview of the existing resources and the value of the work we have completed to-date. Here it is: Maddie Is Online (scottishlibraries.org).  


Later on this month, we are also organising, in collaboration with Jacqueline Geekie, an online event to to celebrate UNESCO Global MIL (Media and Information Literacy) Week 2021 in Scotland. Here are the details and we hope that you can join us!

“A look at the Media and Information Literacy Alliance (MILA) and the ’Maddie is Online’ Digital Literacy project”

Friday, 29th October, 3pm UK time 

Jacqueline Geekie (@Jacques97) will present on the recently formed Media and Information Literacy Alliance (MILA), which has been founded by a group of partners including Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) and CILIP Information Literacy Group (ILG). Jacqueline will also showcase the framework which has been developed by members of the ILG group with 5 aspirations for people to be empowered, informed, connected, healthier and socially conscious. 

Dr Dina Martzoukou (@Dinamartz) will present on the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) funded project ‘Maddie is Online’ (@MaddiesOnline), which involved research on children’s digital resilience in secondary schools in East Renfrewshire, with the collaboration of school librarian Mr Ioannis Panayiotakis. As part of this presentation, Dina will report on a number of interesting findings that have emerged from this work, including young people’s feelings of being online, which have now been brought to life using real children’s voices. Latest blog on the project: Maddie Is Online (scottishlibraries.org)
