Promoting digital literacy for all: A school-based webinar initiative

This study describes a school-based digital literacy intervention designed to strengthen collaboration between families and educators during a structured digital transition. The initiative consisted of a five-part webinar series on digital literacy. The sessions, accessible both live and asynchronously, combined evidence-based guidance with practical strategies. An anonymous survey of the school community revealed high ratings for overall relevance and applicability to family contexts. Participation barriers mirrored patterns described in the literature on parental engagement. The results highlight the potential of concise, targeted, and accessible interventions to promote school–family partnerships in navigating children's digital lives.

Abstract

This study describes a school-based digital literacy intervention designed to strengthen collaboration between families and educators during a structured digital transition. The initiative consisted of a five-part webinar series on digital literacy. The sessions, accessible both live and asynchronously, combined evidence-based guidance with practical strategies. An anonymous survey of the school community revealed high ratings for overall relevance and applicability to family contexts. Participation barriers mirrored patterns described in the literature on parental engagement. The results highlight the potential of concise, targeted, and accessible interventions to promote school–family partnerships in navigating children's digital lives.
