Media Literacy:

What do the experts have to say about media literacy? What's the difference between media literacy and media education?  Here are a few answers.

Media Literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us everyday.

 

Media Education encourages a probing approach to the world of media: Who is this message intended for? Who wants to reach this audience, and why? From whose perspective is this story told?  Whose voices are heard, and whose are absent? What strategies does this message use to get my attention and make me feel included? 

Students will become more aware of the importance of managing one's media "diet"

That is, making choices and reducing the time spent with television, videos, electronic games, films and various print media forms.
