Abstract
This thesis proposes the need for a comprehensive digital literacy program in Ontario \nschools. A K-12 digital literacy program is essential so that students can grow up with a set of \n21st century skills and competencies that prepare them for life in an increasingly complex and \ndigital world. The lack of unified digital literacy instruction in Ontario schools has led to an \ninvestigation of a US based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) academy called \nthe Digital Media Academy. The Digital Media Academy offers programs for students, teachers, \nand adult learners in range of digital media disciplines. A qualitative study was designed to \nextract insights from the Digital Media Academy to establish a digital literacy framework worthy \nof the Ontario classroom. An ethnographic study was performed and eight interviews were \nconducted with eight curriculum staff from the Digital Media Academy. The results formed the \nbasis of a comprehensive digital literacy program synthesized through the critical lens of an \nOntario educator. The Ontario classroom would benefit from a digital literacy program that \nencompasses a creation-based learning platform that is intertwined with a human-centred \ndesign approach and teaches students to adopt a growth mindset, tell digital stories, learn to \ncode, and make use of relatively inexpensive technologies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
