Media Awareness for Girl Guides

Media Awareness

Media Awareness for Girl Guides is a site that outlines how to teach media awareness to all branches of Girl Guides.

 

Cybercitizen Challenge

Cybercitizen Challenge Badge

he Cybercitizen Challenge has been developed by Media Awareness Network (MNet), a non-profit education organization that has been pioneering media and Web literacy programs in Canada since 1996. MNet’s work is based on the belief that to be literate in the world today—to be able to "read" the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us daily—young people need critical thinking skills. This is especially true when it comes to the Internet.

Once these activities are completed, the girls are eligible for the Cybercitizen/Cybercitoyenne Challenge crest. You can purchase your crests at your local guide store or on-line at www.thegirlguidestore.ca.
