Digital Superpowers Unleashed: How School Librarians Lead in Developing Safe, Savvy, and Social Digital Citizens
James Allen
Knowledge Quest, v52 n3 p32-35 2024
In an era where digital and media literacy is as fundamental as reading, writing, and arithmetic, the role of school librarians transcends traditional boundaries. They are the perfect teachers to nurture digital citizenship among learners, an increasingly vital role. This article delves into how these unsung heroes and digital leaders use their digital superpowers to guide young minds toward safe, savvy, and socially responsible digital interactions. These superpowers are also directly aligned with the American Association of School Librarians Standards for Learners (2018) shared foundations: inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore, and engage, which are easily crosswalked with the International Society for Technology in Education Standards for Students (BrooksYoung 2016).
