Tech Days is a two-day series of webinars for Wisconsin public library staff. Join PBS Wisconsin Education for the webinar: Literacy & Justice for All

Literacy goes beyond reading and writing—it is the foundation for voice, access, and agency. In this session, participants will:

• Examine how stories and media shape identity, how language empowers children to express their truths, and how inclusive literacy environments include multimedia that can challenge bias and build belonging.
• Dive into free PBS multimedia collections that include bilingual materials, digital games, tech-related tools, and printable activities that help children think critically, ask meaningful questions, and consider diverse perspectives.
• Reimagine literacy as a pathway to inclusion, empathy, and social change.
• Identify culturally responsive and anti-bias strategies for supporting media literacy in diverse learning environments.
