How to Teach Media Literacy
Media literacy connects the curriculum of the classroom with the curriculum of the living room. Making these connections requires an educationally sound framework and structure — while leaving room for open-ended inquiry and the excitement of discovery."Media education is a quest for meaning. Much of the value of a quest lies in the search itself as well as in the achievement of the goal."
— Chris Worsnop
