Hello Everyone !!!
I'm back with a different topic for this weeks discussion . Last week in class we discussed Media Literacy in class. The first thing I talked about when my teacher introduced Media Literacy to us was Its our own understanding of how the media such as television is being portrayed to us. Even after that thought came about I still looked up media Literacy before she presented the prezi presentation. This is what I found when I did so
Media literacy is the ability to “read” television and mass media. Media literacy education teaches people to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, and PRODUCE media. Many studies suggest that such education can produce less vulnerable children and adolescents. National PTA’s, Teachers’ professional organizations, substance abuse prevention programs and the President have all endorsed media literacy. Children who understand the motivations and production techniques of media are less likely to adopt the destructive attitudes and behaviors that are depicted in the media. Media education represents a new and exciting approach to protecting children and adolescents from the unhealthy effects of media-an approach which is not dependent on Hollywood’s or Madison Avenue’s willingness to accept responsibility for its programming and advertising.
Based off the prezi presentation presented I learned whether I was media Literate of not which I am honestly not but working on getting there. Based off the prezi I learned Media Literacy is our interaction with media and the message we take from. I also learned Media Literacy for teachers could be gender issues, stereotypes, or misrepresentations . Media Literacy for students could be basic concepts, and persuasions. Here's the prezi utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copyto https://prezi.com/jljy8hokvy4f/media-literacy/?help you better get your own understanding of what Media Literacy Means to you.
Thanks for reading and talk to you all next week
