With the continued technological advancements\, even our youngest student s have access to media messages.\n\n \;\n\nDo our students fully under stand what they are seeing? Can they distinguish between real or altered A I-generated content? Now more than ever\, digital literacy - the ability t o use technology to locate\, evaluate\, interpret\, and create - is a crit ical skill that needs attention if students are going to thrive in the cla ssroom and beyond.\nThe Learning Technology Center of Illinois (LTC) is he lping prepare educators to confront these challenges through our 3rd annua l Digital Literacy Conference.
