Episode 32 - Media and Digital Literacy Week
It's Media Literacy Week! Welcome to the Literacy Quebec Podcast. It's already the 5th episode of season 5! This week we talk about Media Literacy (how to critically examine the media that is giving us) and digital Literacy (making computers accessible for non-profits and low-income families). We are joined by two special guests: Matthew Johnson, Director of Education from MediaSmarts https://mediasmarts.ca/ He educates us on why Media Literacy Week Oct 26 - 30, 2020 is so important for us all to use throughout our daily lives. Check our Media Smarts page for resources you can use at home and in the classroom. Francois Pare - Market Development Advisor from OPEQ (Ordinateurs pour les écoles du Québec) “Computers for Schools in QC”) https://www.opeq.qc.ca/ Francois shares how OPEQ refurbishes 100’s and 1000’s of donated computers (in Quebec!) each year in order for non-profit organizations and even low-income families to gain access to having a computer at an affordable cost.
