Media Literacy

Media Literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms. Media literate youth and adults are better able to understand the complex messages we receive from television, radio, Internet, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, video games, music, and all other forms of media.

It is important to learn media in education because technology plays powerful tool for an effective communication. 

"Media literacy deals with the culture and lifestyle of students. They enjoy thinking and talking about what is going on in the media. For teachers, it is an opportunity to have students examine how they are influencing and being influenced by popular culture."
