Hello there grown -ups!
Whether you're an educator, in a school, a home school, or a parent, we need your help.
It'll only take five to ten minutes, but it could make a huge difference to the future of news hounds and our little mate Squizzy.
We're asking you to complete a short survey to help us understand how you think about digital media literacy.
That's the ability to think critically about what we see, read and hear online, and how you're using or you might use resources like news hounds in your classroom or home.
You'll find the link to the survey in the episode notes and on the Squiz Kids website.
Thanks in advance. Squiz Kids acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which be podcast, the Turrbal and Combermery people.
