It’s time to stop the “circle of blame” that we perpetuate regarding inappropriate or unsafe Internet content, with media consumers blaming producers and advertisers, and producers and advertisers blaming consumers. We all share the responsibility for the culture we are creating and passing on to our children. It is also our responsibility to prepare children for safely living in the digital world we have created. To navigate, children need to learn and practice filtering and decision-making skills that are reinforced at school and at home – the core skills of media literacy. These skills of critical inquiry prepare children to make wise decisions when searching and using online resources, helping to achieve safety and security in all aspects of their lives.
