Media Literacy Strand
According to Common Sense Media
Media literacy is literacy expanded to include all forms of communication -- whether that's a paperback book or a Twitter chat. Embracing that broader definition of literacy is essential for the development of curricula that can empower students to fully participate in all aspects of life these days
How might you integrate media literacy in your curriculum?
This 4 part series will start by taking a look at how we define literacy to include media literacy.
We'll get a chance to create media using cloud based tools such as WeVideo - (video creation) and Sound Trap (podcast and audio creation).
We'll end the day by reflecting on the power of media in our world and concrete ways you can integrate media literacy in your classroom, tomorrow!
