3.1.1.2. 2: MLE expands the concept of literacy to include all forms of media.
3.1.1.3. 3: MLE builds and reinforces skills for learners of all ages and requires practice.
3.1.1.4. 4: MLE develops informed, reflective and engaged participants essential for a democratic society.
3.1.1.5. 5: Media are a part of culture and function as agents of socialization.
3.1.1.6. 6: People use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages.
3.1.2. you are already experts if you boil it down to basic communication: who's author, what is their intention, and what audience is this for?
3.1.3. production = "writing" in new media
3.1.3.1. not hard for kids to pick up skills

3.2. Relevance to CCSS
3.2.1. fit them into existing work to help connect with standards/goals
3.2.2. new media can be included as "texts", "informational texts", "nonfiction", etc.
