What is Media Literacy?
The goal of Media Literacy is to help students interpret what they are seeing in various forms of media. With the wealth of information that we receive from the internet, tv, advertisements, etc. it is important that we, as digital citizens and consumers of media, have the ability to decipher the validity and usefulness of what we are seeing. The goal of these units is to help students correctly identify concepts as well as situations in ways that keep them safe and allow them to be discerning when navigating the world of media.
