MEDIA LITERACY: HELPING STUDENTS NAVIGATE THE DIGITAL LANDSCAPE
We are continuing our focus on literacy (writ large) for our quarterly forums this year. The winter forum will focus on media literacy and explore these questions:
- How has the media learning landscape changed for students in the past decades? What has been the impact of the digital age on youth: the possibilities and the challenges? How have political, cultural, social, and technological shifts impacted learning?
- What are the connections between media literacy, civic life, and democracy?
- How can we help students navigate mis and dis-information they encounter?
- How educators can teach media literacy – cross subject matter, cross grades: Incorporating media literacy into your curriculum. Practical suggestions for your classroom.
Our panel includes:
- Antero Garcia, Associate Professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education
- Sarah McGrew, Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland College of Education
- Greg Michie, Seward Elementary School, Chicago, K-8 Media Literacy Teacher
Professors Garcia and McGrew are co-authors on the chapter Rethinking Digital Citizenship: Learning about Media, Literacy, and Race in Turbulent Times as part of the National Academy of Education’s Educating for Civic Reasoning and Discourse report
