    Extractions: by Romana Bertolotti Visit the Teaching with Technology Article Archive for more technology-related content. There are those who say educators should prepare their students for the "Information Age." But aren't we are already in one? We live in an information-saturated and mediated world, and, for each new generation, the methods, tools and conventions of communication and media seem to increase exponentially. Does these changes affect the way young people think, create and communicate? Does it change the nature of school? What does it take to ensure that kids can communicate and learn via media and technology in some sort of critical fashion? What do I, as an educator, need to know to teach within this newly mediated world? The goal of a workshop I presented at School Tech Expo ( www.schooltechexpo In the United States media studies are referred to as media literacy, which highlights the importance of extending literacy skills beyond traditional print media. One of the obvious literacy skills related to the media is visual literacy, because increasingly more information is being conveyed by visual means, either with or without verbal accompaniment, and because students have more and more access to it. One of the central concerns of media education is with the understanding of how we arrive at the meaning we do, by identifying such influences as our own cultural background, the context in which we read a particular image, and the experiences we bring to the reading. Also central to media education are the media texts that convey implied meaning and reinforce the dominant ideologies.

    Extractions: We care about our students, so when we think that media makers may be manipulating them or doing them harm, it's natural for us to react with concern or even anger. But if we let these feelings block our ability to listen to our students or to respect their opinions (especially when they differ from our own), we lose an important opportunity to connect. Here's how you can retain your opinions without letting them get in the way of engaging your students: Keep in mind that "The Merchants of Cool" is about teen culture. Just as you would treat a student's ethnic, racial, or religious culture with respect, approach their media culture with respect. Rather than convey a pre-determined conclusion, i.e., telling students what the message is, focus on giving students the skills they need to interpret messages for themselves. Include potential solutions or actions as part of your discussion. Lessons that stop at identification of a problem tend to leave students feeling cynical rather than skeptical or inquisitive. Because everyone interprets what they see and hear through the lens of their own experience, the more different you are from your students, the more likely it is that you will interpret media messages differently. So be prepared to encounter opinions that differ from your own and to recognize that multiple interpretations can be valid.

Eric Jensen, Teaching with the Brain in Mind The year 2001 marks the first time the Albuquerque Public Schools has acknowledged the importance of media literacy for its students by including performance benchmarks having to do with mass communication concepts in its newly-drafted standards. My objective is to provide middle school educators with interesting approaches for teaching basic concepts in the study of mass communication. There are fruitful findings in the world of research when it comes to brain-compatible learning, and my intention is to provide some details about the basic principles of those findings and then present practical applications in the classroom using Media Literacy as an impetus. Academic Setting School Setting Garfield Middle School is located in a now-predominantly Hispanic community whose families have attended Garfield since its opening in 1950. Two-thirds of the student body qualify for free or reduced lunch and breakfast programs. Terra Nova scores are lower than the district average in most subjects. The school provides bilingual instruction, special education services (for roughly a sixth of the student population) and Title I benefits, for all of which the school receives federal and state funding.

    Extractions: « two doses of realism about democracy Main from Persia to 12th century France and the 21st century web » I owe a paper on the reliability of online medical information. I'm thinking of the following title: "Misinformation in Online Medical Information: What is the Role of Schools?" My answer would be: Schools should have as small a role as possible, because we have already loaded too many responsibilites on them, and they are not well positioned to teach "media literacy." An outline follows. I. There is an argument that schools should devote time and other resources to teaching students “information literacy” so that young people will learn not to be misled by false online information, especially concerning health. The argument goes like this. 3. Believing false health information has costs for the individual and for society. For example, SARS “protective kits” were prominently advertised online in 2003 as a way to prevent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. They would not work. Purchasing and using such kits would waste money and could even increase the chance of infection and transmission. 4. It is probably more important than ever that average people have correct beliefs about health, because: the health system is less paternalistic and gives patients more choices; patients are required to manage their own treatment of such chronic conditions as diabetes and high blood pressure; pharmaceutical companies are more aggressively advertising their products; and there is a larger volume of (often conflicting) information and advice available about many conditions. 5. Since people with more education are better at avoiding misleading information, the widespread prevalence of misinformation may increase social inequality.

    Extractions: 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.

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.

    Extractions: Media Literacy By Cynthia Peters When my daughter came home from kindergarten telling me that her school was teaching her about the media, advertising, and such things as toy packaging, I was impressed. She was beginning to get the tools necessary to think critically about the blizzard of advertising and commercialism we confront everyday. It’s always been clear that no matter how much parents de-emphasize TV or avoid the malls and the Disney stores, kids will be hit hard by the corporations that want them to consume their products and their values. We can’t protect kids from all the media messages, but we can empower them to be critical. We can make them "media literate," the goal, I discovered, of an important political movement that has gained momentum in the last few years. With programs sprouting all over the country, finding outlets in schools and churches, the media literacy movement aims to equip children with the skills they need to critically view commercials and be better consumers. Some media literacy programs also teach children how to use various mediums themselves. According to the Aspen Institute Leadership Forum on Media Literacy (1992) and the Canadian Association for Media Literacy, media literacy is the ability to "access, analyze, evaluate and produce communication in a variety of forms." Is this a long overdue anti-corporate critique of the media? Not exactly. The people who preach media literacy hail from all over the political spectrum. Their funding sources are everything from the Catholic Church to Disney Corporation and MTV. They use media literacy as a tool to counter whatever media messages they find particularly abhorrent or as a neutral form of "education."

    Extractions: Corroboree, LLC Celebrating Good Ideas in Education Media Literacy Workshops for Educators We are hurled into a new communications age that is differentiated from the old by the speed, accuracy and amount of information being exchanged at any given moment in time. Just as the convergence of the technologies of block printing and the wine press spawned a new literacy movement, so too, the new communications media emerging from developments in computer, telephone, video and audio technologies demand the teaching and critical deliberation of new understandings, skills and strategies. The question needs to be asked, are we preparing our children for this new communications age? Media literacy must be addressed through education if we are to ensure that the "information society" is also a society of wisdom, knowledge and care. Key Benefits Prepare your students for the communication/information age Hands-on Learning for an entire class of students Integrates into the existing curriculum What you can Expect This "hands-on" workshop will investigate ways teachers can integrate media literacy into elementary and secondary school curriculum. You don't have to be an expert in the field of media arts and sciences to learn to teach about the media and their messages. In fact, the guided, open-ended, process approach to teaching and learning allows teachers to learn right along with the students in their class. This is not a course in media technology. It is a course in how to teach about the electronic media and their messages.

Bibliography EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Media literacy education has come a long way since the 1970s, when the first "critical thinking" courses were introduced in a few American schools. Most educators today understand that with the revolutionary changes in communication that have occurred in the last half-century, media literacy has become as essential a skill as the ability to read the printed word. Equally important, media literacy education can relieve the pressures for censorship that have, over the last decade, distorted the political process, threatened First Amendment values, and distracted policymakers from truly effective approaches to widely shared concerns about the mass media's influence on youth.
