4. Media Literacy & CCSS Relationship
4.1. Definition of Media Literacy
4.1.1. critical thinking & literacy extended to new media: core principles
4.1.1.1. 1: MLE requires active inquiry and critical thinking about the messages we receive and create.
4.1.1.2. 2: MLE expands the concept of literacy to include all forms of media.
4.1.1.3. 3: MLE builds and reinforces skills for learners of all ages and requires practice.
4.1.1.4. 4: MLE develops informed, reflective and engaged participants essential for a democratic society.
4.1.1.5. 5: Media are a part of culture and function as agents of socialization.
4.1.1.6. 6: People use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages.
4.1.2. 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?
4.1.3. production = "writing" in new media
4.1.3.1. not hard for kids to pick up skills
4.1.3.2. communication tool box
4.1.3.3. kids can be empowered through SCHOOL to use these tools to communicate with the quality/effectiveness you try to teach them with writing
4.1.4. 21st century citizens need to be able to think critically about the media they receive and create in order to be informed citizens of a media-driven democracy and lifelong learners.
4.2. Relevance to CCSS
4.2.1. fit them into existing work to help connect with standards/goals
4.2.2. new media can be included as "texts", "informational texts", "nonfiction", etc.
4.2.3. media projects can demonstrate communication skills, comprehension, meaning-making, etc.
4.2.4. Internet research best practices
4.2.5. perfect for getting students to struggle with ambiguity: perseverance, understanding, etc. through discussion and critical analysis.
