Analyzing and assessing sources is an essential part of all inquiry-based learning projects , but our multimedia world means that we have to teach kids not just how to assess data and arguments, but also how to discern emotional appeals made through pictures, music and video. This important topic is too big to thoroughly cover here, but we can give you a few pointers and resources for further explanation: When we teach how to do photography , we're also teaching kids to really look at the images they see. They come to understand the emotional effects inherent in a photographer's choices about angle, focus and other aesthetic elements.

[will open a separate window]] What's the difference between media literacy and media education? What is the media literacy "movement" you referred to? Is there an association I can join, or a conference? Is there a curriculum for media literacy? I want to teach media literacy in my school (church / community center / youth group). How do I get started? How many schools are using media literacy in their classes in the United States? ... Why is the United States so far behind other countries? What's the difference between media literacy, media education and media studies? "Media literacy" and "media education" are sometimes used interchangeably in the U.S, and even those within the "movement" haven't decided on exactly when to use one or the other, as each has its advantages and disadvantages as a label. For example, the word "literacy" is abstract and not immediately understandable for many people, who think of reading and writing when they hear the word "literacy." On the other hand, to some people "media education" means teaching kids how to use video production equipment. "Media literacy" is presently the most-used term, and it clearly makes the point that to be a literate person in the 21st century, one needs to know how to "read" and produce all forms of media, not just reading and writing words. In the United Kingdom and Canada, the classes where you learn to become media literate are "media studies" classes, and "media education" pertains to everything which assists the teaching of media in the classroom. In summary:

28. Media Literacy And NCCurriculum Connections Appearing in the PBS broadcast, media literacy The New Basic, former CBSanchor, Walter Cronkite, said schools should teach healthy skepticism. http://www.ci.appstate.edu/programs/edmedia/medialit/medialit_nccurric.html

Media Literacy and North Carolina Curriculum Connections Defined as the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE and COMMUNICATE information in a variety of forms, both print and non print, media literacy is compatible with several aspects of the North Carolina Curriculum. It certainly directly addresses responsible citizenship in a democratic society, since it argues that a responsible citizen is an informed member of the community This citizen must be able to do more than simply access information. An informed citizen must be able to detect bias and to understand the commercial pressures that shape not only what news is presented, but how it is presented. Hopefully such a citizen might also access alternative sources of information. Appearing in the PBS broadcast, Media Literacy: The New Basic, former CBS anchor, Walter Cronkite, said schools should teach healthy skepticism. Surely our English, Language Arts and Civics classes can integrate this element of media literacy in their lessons. The state curriculum also refers to the goal of creating productive workers . In the information economy this will increasingly mean, workers who have the technological skills to utilize computer-related technology to access, store, produce and disseminate information. Once again, media literacy is an ally in this process. Access to websites is meaningless, even dangerous without the corresponding ability to analyze and evaluate the authenticity of the information located there. Equally, possessing the technical skills to create a website or PowerPoint presentation is not enough. Students must also understand graphic design, screen display and other elements that will determine how well the program is processed. In the case of PowerPoint, for example, it is very easy for the special effects WOW to overwhelm the program's WHAT, or content.

MEDIA: BEWARE! To me, to be MEDIA AWARE is to understand that media has a significant impact on our way of life and our notion of reality. The media aware person will be able to make conscious critical assesments of the media in order to resist manipulation. So...What, then, is Media Literacy The following are some definitions of Media Literacy I found posted on the Web: "Media Literacy is concerned with helping students develop an informed 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 students' understanding and enjoyment of how the media work, how they produce meaning, how they are organized, and how they construct reality. Media literacy also aims to provide students with the ability to create media products." Barry Duncan, et al., Media Literacy Resource Guide, Ontario Ministry of Education, Toronto, ONT, Canada, 1989. "Media Literacy is an informed, critical understanding of the mass media. It involves an examination of the techniques, technologies and institutions that are involved in media production, the ability to critically analyze media messages and a recognition of the role that audiences play in making meaning from those messages."

In Playing the Future , first released in 1995, Rushkoff laid out the idea that adults are immigrants in amedia-rich world where children are the natives. While adults think today's children are deficient in basic skills, Rushkoff said they are rich in skills that let them navigate the information-saturated environment in which we now live.

As parents, we need to make sure our kids know how to “read” the media, so that they learn what we want them to learn from it, and don’t learn what we don’t want them to learn. Knowing how to “read” messages in the media (including TV, movies, magazines, advertisements, computer and video games, popular music, and the Internet) is called media literacy Kids need to: Recognize how media messages influence and manipulate us.

37. About Media Literacy When you teach media literacy skills, you are teaching thinking skills thatlast all through life, says Rowe. Are media literacy skills a necessity? http://www.nationaltelemediacouncil.org/aboutml.htm

ABOUT MEDIA LITERACY Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create information in a variety of print and non-print media formats. Media literacy is an expanded view of traditional literacy essential to survival in a media-filled world. It is mindful viewing and reflective judgment. Media literacy is the "ability to choose, to understandwithin the context of content, form/style, impact, industry and productionto question, to evaluate, to create and/or produce and to respond thoughtfully to the media we consume. It is mindful reading, listening and viewing, accompanied by reflective judgment." The following article was published in "The World & I" magazine, August 1989 From TV Idiot to Media Literate by Robert James I f children can learn to evaluate media, they can see how they are often duped and manipulated, instead of informed. Sixth-grade teacher Alan Lengel realized he was getting through to his students when, in the midst of a classroom discussion about stereotypes, twelve-year-old Matt volunteered his criticism of a popular TV program. Matt disliked the way the show consistently portrayed adultsespecially parents. In his opinion, the show always made grown-ups "look stupid." "It doesn't teach you to respect your parents," he complained. In fact, the program Matt criticizes, "You Can't Do That on Television," while intending jest, does a daily hatchet job on adults. Teachers are presented as foolish and petty bureaucrats, service workers are slovenly and rude, and parents are either feather-brained Milquetoasts or overweight, drunken slobs.

38. Kellner: Media Literacy And Critical Pedagogy can serve their pedagogical goals and how they can both use media to promote multiculturaleducation and to use this material to teach media literacy as well. http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/courses/ed253a/dk/ML&CP.htm

Douglas Kellner Shared Differences collects a wide range of articles which discuss how to organize courses in "multicultural media and practical pedagogy," while a diverse group of books that I will review focus on the importance of developing critical media literacy in analyzing media culture and producing alternative media. The books under review thus complement each other in terms of contributing to a critical pedagogy and challenge educators to rethink their curricula and teaching strategies to meet the challenge of confronting and dissecting media culture in our increasing multicultural society, while teaching the skills that will empower citizens and students to become sensitive to the politics of representations of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and other cultural differences in media culture. In this review, I will use Shared Differences to discuss how media of cultural representation such as film, video, photography, and multimedia can be used to promote multicultural education. I then engage a series of books that presents theoretical and practical articulation of the issues involved in developing critical media literacy. My argument is that education today needs to foster a variety of new competencies in using, analyzing, and producing media to empower students and to make education relevant to the challenges of the present and future. New technologies are altering every aspect of our society and we need to understand and make use of them both to understand and transform our world.

39. AMLA - FAQs 2. Professionalization. As with most subjects, there are debates about how bestto teach media literacy and how we judge whether or not someone does it well. http://www.amlainfo.org/faq_need.html

Frequently Asked Questions What is Media Literacy? Why is Media Literacy Education Important? What is the Status of Media Literacy Education in the United States? What Does the U.S. Media Literacy Education Movement Need? 1. A place for diverse practitioners to meet Separated by fields, people who do media literacy tend not to attend the same professional conferences or read the same magazines or journals. In short, the opportunities to talk across disciplines are rare. Through its conferences, Web site and publications, the AMLA will serve as a bridge, fostering communication among people working in different fields. 2. Professionalization As with most subjects, there are debates about how best to teach media literacy and how we judge whether or not someone does it well. Like the role NAEYC plays in the early childhood community, the AMLA hopes to help define a research agenda, disseminate results, define promising practices, and credential practitioners based on the best research available. Like teachers of any other subject, teachers who are expected to teach media literacy need appropriate resources and training. As increasing numbers of people recognize the need for media literacy education, the demand for professional development also increases. In response, the AMLA will facilitate the development of high-quality training at the community level and in institutions of higher education as well as on-line. We also intend to serve as a clearinghouse and referral agency for schools, programs, and organizations looking for professional development opportunities.

The conference is the largest gathering of media educators held in the United States. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has recommended that Texas educators attend the National Media Education Conference in Austin as staff development for meeting Texas' viewing and representing standards. "This conference is tied to our new content standards," says Muffet Livaudais, Ed.D., TEA Director of English Language Arts Curriculum and Professional Development. "We have to teach to these standards, and the National Media Education Conference gives us an opportunity to see how other great teachers are doing that." "By implementing the innovative 'Viewing and Representing' standard in English Language Arts, Texas is leading the way in establishing media education as a curricular necessity in grades K-12," said Conference Chair LaTanya Bailey Jones. "We are holding the conference in the state's capital city to honor Texas' innovative thinking and leadership for the media literacy movement."
