GLOBAL IMPACT:
A PROGRAM TO GROW WITH

Here's how the University of Rhode Island's Summer Institute in Digital Literacy has had a powerful impact on digital and media literacy education in Brazil

By Mariana Ochs

“If you want to go where the magic happens, you have to leave your comfort zone.”

“It's so hard to just pick one, but I would say compassionate and inclusive leadership.”

“I learned about the importance of being part of a community and working in collaboration with other people.”

“I learned that discovery and creativity begin with inquiry.”

“The final product doesn't have to be 'polished' or even 'finished' to one's personal standards to be valuable to either the creator or the community.”

“I learned that there are boundless resources - human resources and online resources - that can support and transform educators and others who want to go further down the road of digital literacy.”

“Digital literacy needs to be at the heart of all we do.”

“Relationships and connections are truly at the core of digital literacy.”
