Extractions: 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.

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."

He has a knack for taking things apart, figuring out how the pieces fit together, and making them work. But when he couldn't read auto repair manuals, he couldn't pass the tests he needed for certification. And when Farmer realized his reading problems were also interfering with his ability to help his kids with homework, he decided to take action. Farmer enrolled in an adult literacy program, where he struggled until a tutor introduced him to phonics. Suddenly, the workings of the English language made as much sense to him as a car engine. "I'm sitting there thinking, 'Hey, that's all I need. I'm a mechanic. Just show me how the dang thing is built, and I'll go for it." By breaking the language down into manageable parts, Farmer learned to sound out words, to spell, and to write. And to pass tests; today he owns his own repair shop in Memphis. Like Dallas Farmer, Enrique Ramirez and Sheila Greene joined adult literacy programs to find better work and to become better parents. But the keys to learning for them were quite different from phonics. Ramirez learned to read by playing word games like Scrabble with his tutor. And Greene began to improve her reading retention when a tutor steered her toward material she found interesting-African-American stories and newspaper articles about people like her.

Extractions: by Omar Benton Ricks Are children learning to think critically about the things that shape their world? This is a question many parents and educators have on their minds, especially with regard to media. The average American child ages 8 to 18 watches over 6 hours of TV a day and uses other media (including the Internet) an additional 2 hours a day [ ]. Scholars estimate that by the age of 18, children in the United States will have spent more than 16,000 hours in front of the TV set, compared with only 14,000 hours in the classroom [ ]. With their children having that kind of exposure, most parents are concerned about their children's use of media what Web sites they visit, what movies and TV shows they watch, and what music they listen to. Over many years, this concern has led to the implementation of practices and regulations intended to protect children from negative influences in the media. Industries now have ratings for movies, music CDs, video games, and TV programming. Some parents have begun to take action on their own from reducing the amount of time children watch TV or videos, to getting a TV that has a V-chip (an electronic device that allows parents to control what shows a child watches), to putting computers in conspicuous areas of the home so it is easier to monitor what the child is doing on the computer. Recently, the President approved legislation to provide a domain extension of "G"-rated Web sites for children [

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: 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.

Extractions: Washington, DC - The United States lags behind every other major English-speaking country in teaching children how to sort through the media's messages, even though U.S. children are among the world's largest consumers of electronic media, according to a new report, Thinking Critically About Media: Schools and Families in Partnership . Commissioned by Cable in the Classroom, the cable industry's education foundation, and written by six experts in media literacy, the report details the importance of teaching children to understand and analyze the media messages that bombard them daily, and the great and growing need for parents and teachers to arm children with media literacy skills. An advance copy of the report was released today to herald Take Charge of Your TV Week "With television and its edgy younger sibling - the Internet - being devoured by children at home, at the Boys and Girls Club, and at Grandma's, parents and schools have a huge responsibility to equip kids to deal with the onslaught of media messages," said Peggy O'Brien, Ph.D., executive director of Cable in the Classroom. "With a few notable exceptions, we have been slow to act on that responsibility in this country."

http://www.rmpbs.org/learn/medialit.html

Extractions: A program for 7th-9th grade students and their teachers and parents. An increasingly important topic for students in the new millennium, media literacy means the ability to critically view what one sees in all forms of media. From television shows to the Internet, the media influence the way we view our world. Television in particular, in 99 percent of homes in the United States, plays a huge part in defining our values and beliefs as a society. Learning to be a critical viewer is thus imperative or we run the risk of allowing the business behind television to create our values. Rather than censoring all television, proponents of media literacy encourage us to equip students with the critical thinking skills needed to best understand the messages received on television. Media literacy empowers viewers to examine their relationship with the media and better understand the business behind television, allowing them to make their own determinations of their values within the context of this new knowledge.

Extractions: Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate messages in a wide variety of forms. The importance of media literacy is illustrated by a few statistics: By the time they graduate from high school, children will have spent 50% more time in front of a television set than in front of a teacher. Children between the ages of 2 to 11 watch 28 to 30 hours of television a week, and view between 300 and 1,600 advertisements a day, while young adolescents (12 to 14 years old) watch an estimated 26 hours of television per week. Later in adolescence, teenagers do shift away from television viewing, but become heavy consumers of recorded music, making up 25% of all record, CD, and cassette sales.
