Classroom Culture and Development: Teaching Media Literacy in the Classroom
As posted of Brenna Coleman in suite101.com: Students today have an unprecedented access to media; yet, media literacy education remains a relatively new development in education, particularly in elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms. Children use the internet both as a research tool and a social outlet; they listen to mp3's while sending text messages; they play video games with their next door neighbor, but also with the media savvy children who live on the other side of the world.
Educators search for ways to effectively teach media literacy in the classroom, while at the same time students' experience with media increases. Of course parents are very much welcome these kind of media literacy for children's involvement and awareness.
By approaching media issues, or even general education subjects with critical thinking activities, educators can give students the tools to think rationally for themselves in a media-driven
world. Which is very much important than any Disney wedding rings. Since, interactive media education can provide children with the ability to express themselves through different forms of media — a valuable skill for the present, and the future.
