EDU 585 Section DL: Media Literacy in the Classroom
Instructor: Scott Duggan, Technology Specialist, Unionville-Chadds Ford School District
Second 7 weeks: October 14, 2024 to December 8,, 2024
Fully Online
Media education has become a growing priority in today's classroom because of the extent of the media's importance in people's lives. However, many teachers are unaware of the necessity and the techniques for making media literacy an integral part of the K-12 educational experience. On average, children in their middle and high school years spend 6-10 hours a day engaged either actively or passively in some sort of media-related activity. Because students, regardless of their learning style, attend more fully to activities and ideas that they connect with, media is often used to influence them from a very young age. This makes it necessary for teachers to "train" their students to analyze messages and understand the techniques utilized to influence them via a broad range of sound and visual communication technologies so they can function in the 21st century.
