Proclaiming the Gospel through Media Literacy A Recognized Service Organization of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod Home WELCOME to the home page of the Christian Media Literacy Institute. We are glad you stopped by for a visit. If you are a parent or teacher and you are looking for Christian materials to help your children understand the media, then this site and the Christian Media Literacy Institute are for you. There are many secular groups involved in media literacy. However, there is precious little media literacy material being developed from the Christian perspective. Our children could benefit greatly by learning how to use their faith to analyze the media. Through applying Law and Gospel to a constructed message our children can judge the moral quality of the message for themselves and compare that to the new life they have in Jesus Christ. In this way, children begin to learn how to use their faith to critique the world in which they live. Dr. John Tape, President, Christian Media Literacy Institute Our Purpose Our purpose is to proclaim the Gospel of Christ as we sensitize children, teachers and parents to the issues of media literacy.

Fran Trampiets teaches graduate courses in media education October 18, 2000 Web posted at: 11:59 AM EDT (1559 GMT) By Fran Trampiets Question: Why should we take time away from traditional subjects and teach about the media when children already spend so much time with media and often know more about it than adults? Answer: It’s not a case of replacing traditional subjects with media studies, but of teaching traditional subjects in new ways ways that reflect the realities of today’s information age. The traditional classroom, where the teacher and textbook were the primary sources of information, has evolved into learning centers where computers open up whole new worlds of learning opportunities. The critical factor is teaching students to use computers and use information wisely. Media education teaches students how to set learning objectives and how to access information that will help them reach those objectives. It teaches them how to analyze and evaluate the information they find and to determine what’s most relevant and helpful. Media education almost always results in more enthusiasm for learning because it gives students more control over their information searches and their ways of demonstrating what they’ve learned.

Media Literacy Background and articles for basic introduction and understanding newly added links in red Media literacy is concerned with helping students develop an informal and critical understanding of the nature of mass media, the techniques used by them, and the impact of these techniques. More specifically, it is education that aims to increase the students' understanding and enjoyment of how the-media work, how they produce meaning, how they are organized, and how they construct reality.

Why Teach Media Literacy? - Flash Version Pat Kipping Because it makes you a better citizen Media literate people understand that media are constructed to convey ideas, information and news from someone else's perspective. They understand that specific techniques are used to create emotional effects. They can identify those techniques and their intended and actual effects. They are aware that the media benefit some people, but leave others out. They can (pose and sometimes answer) questions about who benefits, who is left out, and why. Media literate people seek alternative sources of information and entertainment. Media literate people use the media for their own advantage and enjoyment. Media literate people know how to act, rather than being acted upon. In this way, media literate people are better citizens. Source: Pat Kipping.

Seeing and Believing: How to Teach Media Literacy in the English Classroom In this superb collection of classroom case studies, two master high school teachers share the units, lesson plans, writing assignments and student projects they have honed and tested in their English classrooms for many years. Most valuable is their building on critical principles for print, familiar to all English teachers, in order to provide a firm foundation for evaluating advertising, television, video and film as a visual as well as narrative text. From “Deconstructing the Single Image” to “Analyzing the Moving Image,” to “Using Film to Enhance Writing.” the book is full of practical advice and creative strategies for teaching critical thinking through contemporary movies and campaigns and television shows. In addition, by providing lots of resources to help you get started, Krueger and Christel inspire and excite you to make media literacy a vital component of language arts education for students at every level. The final chapter offers suggestions on setting up an elective film studies course at the secondary level. For complete table of contents see link at right.

We need media literacy classes in school By David Shaw Los Angeles Times (published Nov.29, 2003) We are, all of us, awash in media. Television. Movies. The Internet. Billboards. Newspapers. Magazines. Radio. Newsletters. Individually and collectively, we spend more time with more media than ever before - an average of 10.5 hours a day, about 25 percent of that time using two media simultaneously, according to a recent study of "Middletown, USA" by the University of South Carolina. Children in particular have become media-obsessed. Another recent study, this one by the Kaiser Family Foundation, found that 68 percent of kids 2 and younger spend an average of two hours a day in front of a screen, either television or computer. Children under 6 spend as much time in front of a screen as they do playing outside - and three times as much as they spend reading or being read to. Those numbers don't decline as the children grow older. Douglas Rushkoff, a professor of media culture at New York University, has coined the term "screen-agers" to convey the depth of this inundation. Moreover, yet another study - the 2003 Roper Youth Report - shows that kids ages 8 to 17 have 10 percent more say now than they did a year ago in their families' media purchases: magazines, newspapers, music, DVDs.

Harry Potter ensemble or who can recall a book passage from memory may be strong readers or recallers of general information, and may be considered highly literate in the conventional sense. Yet their media literacy functions at a very low level, perhaps bordering on media aliteracy in that the surface knowledge is apparent but deeper levels of knowledge are missing. Educators must note that well-developed cognitive domains alone do not best serve a truly media literate person. In all probability, the Harry Potter found in movies and commercials will correspond to recognized or desired personal characteristics familiar to children and teens, which in turn will establish an opening for advertisers and others to shape youngsters' attitudes about new film stars and products.

What do those messages mean? What is their purpose? How should we process media messages? In a recent e-interview with Education World, noted author, educator, and media literacy expert Catherine Gourley shared her thoughts about media literacy and its role in education. Gourley's latest book, Media Wizards: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Media Manipulations, introduces techniques to help students crack the codes of media messages. "Media wizards are a creative bunch. They produce their messages using a warehouse of tools visual effects, sound effects, words that have positive or negative connotations, headlines that SCREAM!, and photographs that sensationalize. Some wizards speak in sound bites and advertising slogans. Others mouth media metaphors. But their words and their illusions aren't magic. They are simply messages, each constructed with a purpose to inform, to persuade, or to influence behavior."

19. What Is Media Literacy Why teach media literacy to young children? Because American schoolchildrenspend more time watching television than they do in school or play. http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/exhibitions/education/vidkids/medialit.html

A Few Words about "Media Literacy" Media literacy is the ability to understand how mass media work, how they produce meanings, how they are organized, and how to use them wisely. The media literate person can describe the role media play in his or her life. The media literate person understands the basic conventions of various media, and enjoys their use in a deliberately conscious way. The media literate person understands the impact of music and special effects in heightening the drama of a television program or film...this recognition does not lessen the enjoyment of the action, but prevents the viewer from being unduly credulous or becoming unnecessarily frightened. The media literate person is in control of his or her media experiences. The following definition of media literacy came out of the Trent Think Tank, a 1989 symposium for media educators from around the world sponsored by the Canadian Association for Media Literacy: "The goal of the media literacy curriculum must be to develop a literate person who is able to read, analyze, evaluate, and produce communications in a variety of media ( print, TV, computers, the arts, etc.)." Most often, "the media" are lumped together as a single entity. But "the media" are actually many forms of communication...including newspapers, magazines, and billboards, radio, television, videocassettes, video games, and computer games. Since the students participating in VidKids are primarily engaged in television viewing (most of them are too young to read newspapers and magazines), our activities focus on video and TV.

Media Literacy Bring up the term "media literacy" with a group of people and a dozen different ideas come to mind. Some people will think of "film studies courses" where students analyze characters, plot, and cinematography. While others start complaining about the quality of television. Still others will recall a middle school class where they learned about advertising techniques that TV commercials use. This page focuses on media literacy. For information on the larger issue of information literacy, go to Approaches to Information and Communication Literacy at eduScapes Teacher Tap . For related information about visual literacy, read Visual Literacy by Annette Lamb at eduScapes Activate and The On-Line Visual Literacy Project from Pomona College Media Literacy Defined Media literacy is the ability to read, interpret, use, design, and create audio and video materials for specific outcomes. This includes thinking, learning, and expressing oneself using media. Since media is all around us, some people may think that everyone is naturally media literacy. Young people are typically large consumers of all types of media including Internet, television, radio, movies, and computers. Of course anyone can become a couch potato and view television and music as a passive medium. Media literate people view their interaction with media as active.
