Call for Papers: Media and Digital Literacy, From School to Home

In an era shaped by social media, artificial intelligence, streaming platforms, and an abundance of online information, media and digital literacy have become essential competencies for young people. Understanding how information circulates, recognizing misinformation, protecting personal data, exercising critical thinking, and adopting an ethical online posture are now central educational priorities.

While schools play a key role in developing these competencies, families are indispensable partners. Young people’s digital practices evolve through a constant interaction between formal learning, personal use, and parental guidance. Building coherence between these spheres presents both challenges and powerful opportunities to strengthen media and digital literacy.

The Fall 2026 issue of Engaged Learning (Vol. 6, Issue 1) will highlight initiatives, inspiring practices, tools, and reflections related to media and digital literacy—from the classroom to the home. From classroom strategies to school-wide initiatives and family engagement practices, the issue will explore ways to support young people in navigating a complex information ecosystem while fostering autonomy, critical thinking, and responsible digital citizenship.
