  • "Teaching adults and children how to analyze the media is an essential survival skill for the twenty-first century," he says. And as more adults -- such as parents, teachers, and staff in community-based programs -- work together to address children's media literacy, a more comprehensive approach can evolve to address students' media literacy at home, in school, and in after-school or summer programs.

      Media literacy should include the skills of literacy extended to all message form. Media literacy should include reading, and writing, speaking and listening, and the ability to make your own messages using a wide range of technologies, including cameras, camcorders, and pc's.
  • When students shoot and edit a videotape, they learn that all media is a manipulation of choices every step of the way."

      Manipulation is a strong word but appropriate in my opinion. There really is no such thing a bias free media. However, at least they should try to be objective.

  • We try to saturate a community with information," says Director McCannon, so everyone -- parents, teachers, and students -- is focused on media literacy.

      Saturating the community with information is not necessarily a bad idea. What counts is how each member is able to process it.
  • The more our children participate in the creative process, the greater chance they have to understand what's involved and the more they'll realize that nothing is preordained, nothing just appeared.

      This is very true! Without giving children the opportunity to manipulate media, how would they use their critical thinking skills? What most parents worry about, though, is their kids Internet safety. With little training on safety issues, paprents should feel confident letting their kids surf the net to create their own content.
  • Headphones and CD players have become so much a part of the middle and high school students' "uniform" that backpacks are now designed to accommodate the gear.

      This isn't as recent a revelation as this paragraph makes it sound. I got my first walkman as a young kid in the 80's as a result of my dad confiscating it from a student that had tried to record answers to a test and use it in class.
  • Parents, teachers, and other interested adults need to give them opportunities to become creators of their own media -- and then to talk about those experiences, too

      My Gov't project for 2nd quarter is for students to create campaign commercials. It should be a good opportunity for them to see just how information can be manipulated and twisted to fit into a thirty second ad spot.

      The process that is involved in documentary making is an effective way for students to understand that everything they see and hear was made by choices people behind the camera and in the editing room make. It makes you questions what and why to say the least.
  • And they're creating an interdisciplinary curriculum to provide students of all ages with the skills necessary to move from being passive consumers of media to critical listeners, viewers, readers, and producers of all types of media

  • American youth and teens spend precious little time analyzing the messages they're bombarded with every day.

      I don't think the article gives students enough credit. As teachers we have our students analyze various forms of media and students analysis will become more automatic for them. I do think that students are less likely to analyze the entertainment side of media.

      I remember analyzing video taped movies in high school classes. I don't think analyzing everything they come across is a necessity. I do however think that it's great they are sharing media and videos with parents, and having discussions with them. That is a great way to learn, share and come up with new and interesting ideas.
