Wacky Media Songs is an educational song-based series that inspires kids to get curious about digital and media literacy all while singing along to the catchiest, coolest tunes. Each of the 36 fun-filled, zany two-minute video explores a different aspect of digital media literacy, ranging from cyberbullying and online safety to advertising, gender stereotyping, and even the ways that camera angles affect how we feel. These songs empower viewers to be critical consumers of media and active, responsible users of digital technology as well as promoting critical thinking and problem solving skills.

MediaSmarts – Canada’s Centre for Digital and Media Literacy acted as a consultant for this series.
