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.

A Few Words about "Media Literacy" Media literacy is the ability to understand how mass media work, how they produce meanings, how they are organized, and how to use them wisely. The media literate person can describe the role media play in his or her life. The media literate person understands the basic conventions of various media, and enjoys their use in a deliberately conscious way. The media literate person understands the impact of music and special effects in heightening the drama of a television program or film...this recognition does not lessen the enjoyment of the action, but prevents the viewer from being unduly credulous or becoming unnecessarily frightened. The media literate person is in control of his or her media experiences. The following definition of media literacy came out of the Trent Think Tank, a 1989 symposium for media educators from around the world sponsored by the Canadian Association for Media Literacy: "The goal of the media literacy curriculum must be to develop a literate person who is able to read, analyze, evaluate, and produce communications in a variety of media ( print, TV, computers, the arts, etc.)." Most often, "the media" are lumped together as a single entity. But "the media" are actually many forms of communication...including newspapers, magazines, and billboards, radio, television, videocassettes, video games, and computer games. Since the students participating in VidKids are primarily engaged in television viewing (most of them are too young to read newspapers and magazines), our activities focus on video and TV.

The View from 3850: Literacy, Technology and Instruction This is a required course in the Core Curriculum of RCOE. It operates on the premise that knowledge is socially constructed. Students are expected to examine what it means to be literate at the end of the 20th century, this includes not simply an understanding of computer literacy and media literacy, but an introduction to Amish Literacy . Students frequently have the opportunity through distance education hookups, to converse with Andrea Fishman, author of Amish Literacy Dr. David Considine Telemedium: The Journal of Media Literacy. Here then, in their own words, are some of the ways that they respond to and reflect upon what is typically their first introduction to media literacy. Case Study #1 - Karen Case Study #1 - Karen The idea of media literacy in our classrooms is a very exciting and challenging topic that I think should definitely be integrated into our curriculum and added to our list of competencies if it is not already.

Continuing the Discussion Does TV Kill? Aired January 10, 1995 Letter from David Fanning Educator's Primer Classroom Activities Letter from David Fanning, FRONTLINE Executive Producer Dear Educator: Before the age of eighteen, the average American teen will have witnessed eighteen thousand simulated murders on TV. While staggering in number, more disturbing is the effect this steady diet of imaginary violence may have on America's youth. Over the past forty years, more than three thousand studies have investigated the connection between television violence and real violence. Social scientists have attempted to measure television's effect on behavior in different ways, including laboratory studies, field experiments, and correlational studies. Though none conclude a direct cause and effect relationship, it becomes clear that watching television is one of a number of important factors affecting aggressive behavior. Today, in addition to entertaining and informing, television serves as background noise, as babysitter, as safe haven from mean streets, and as a way to avoid social interaction. But does our dependence on television stifle the development of creativity and skew the way we view ourselves and our society? To answer these critical questions, FRONTLINE correspondent Al Austin examines what is known about television violence and how it affects our lives. "Does TV Kill?" a co-production of Oregon Public Broadcasting and FRONTLINE, airing Tuesday, January 10, on PBS, reveals some unexpected conclusions about the impact of TV.

Media Literacy Bring up the term "media literacy" with a group of people and a dozen different ideas come to mind. Some people will think of "film studies courses" where students analyze characters, plot, and cinematography. While others start complaining about the quality of television. Still others will recall a middle school class where they learned about advertising techniques that TV commercials use. This page focuses on media literacy. For information on the larger issue of information literacy, go to Teacher Tap: Approaches to Information and Communication Literacy . For information on visual literacy, try Activate: Visual Literacy and Visual Literacy from Media Literacy Review Media Literacy Defined Media literacy is the ability to read, interpret, use, design, and create audio and video materials for specific outcomes. This includes thinking, learning, and expressing oneself using media. Since media is all around us, some people may think that everyone is naturally media literacy. Young people are typically large consumers of all types of media including Internet, television, radio, movies, and computers. Of course anyone can become a couch potato and view television and music as a passive medium. Media literate people view their interaction with media as active.

LEARN@rmpbs.org Rocky Mountain PBS Media Literacy Project NEW! TV Confidential 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.
