Television and Literacy - 1 views

  • Oberving the data throughout this essay, the best solution is to use both educational television and close captioning. First of all, educational television has been shown to increase literacy and cultural knowledge thus should be integrated into the classroom. Teachers should used educational television as a learning tool and to spur interest in academics. Secondly, parents should use close captioning in order to reverse the effects of non education television. Since television has been shown to displace reading, close captioning integrates both television and reading into one activity. Close captioning would allow the child to view television but at the same time read the captioning, thus increase literacy. These two factors are capable of reversing the negative effects of television and allow a new generation of children to increase literacy with the aid of technology.

      This is a great idea to incorporate Chris. I remember as a kid watching BrainPOP and The Magic School bus and I still remember a lot of information from that even though those were many many years in my past. Furthermore, in high school we watched a lot of TED videos (similar to the one we watched today). We really need to emphasize in our statement that literacy encompasses all ways in which information is absorbed.

      Also again make sure you find support. This article is from 1997 and appears to be a student paper. Make sure you use that "CCCCCCC.CCC For Evaluating Internet Resources" as a guide. Remember this assignment is about Disinformation and figuring out what is valid information verses invalid information. Maybe we can find some information from the Full Sail online library or other accredited colleges. We should be able to access the Harvard Online Library as well.

    During a study researchers found children engage with the television as they watch it and therefore have fun while learning skills such as the alphabet, numbers, and general knowledge.

    A report clarifying the definition of literacy, and two views from multiple sources stating how television  has a negative impact on literacy, and how it may have a positive impact on literacy. I found the "Interest Stimulation Theory" by Susan Neuman to be accurate. She says that the entertainers and persuaders open gateways in learning for children.

However the facts may not be completely true. Especially since the article was written in 1996.

Reading TV - 0 views

  • The benefits of reading to children are well established, but did you know that with a little guidance, children can get similar benefits from watching television? That may seem like a lot to ask from TV viewing, but when children are stimulated to think, as opposed to watching passively, their minds are very busy. According to children's television researcher Dr. Edward Palmer, watching television is "a remarkable intellectual act. All the while kids are watching, they are making hypotheses, anticipating, generalizing, remembering, and actively relating what they see to their own lives."

    An extensive argument on the benifits of Children and Television programing. It discusses the positive ways in wich policy holders take to develop programing that will shape culture change. It also discusses the science in semiotic representation and ludic imagination and how television producers utilize it in the learning process.

    In my opinion, I think this one scores in the low 80%. While it may appear to score low in the multimedia category you need to change the way you look at it considering where you found it and the content it contains. The Full Sail Library isn't where they originally posted this article. Sometimes you can find them through google scholar to where they originated but not always.

Media Literacy Fundamentals | MediaSmarts - 1 views

  • Media literacy encourages young people to question, evaluate, understand and appreciate their multimedia culture. It teaches them to become active, engaged media consumers and users.Media education brings the world into the classroom, giving immediacy and relevance to traditional subjects such as History, English, Health, Civics and the Creative Arts. It serves as a perfect bridge for subject integration and interdisciplinary studies.Media education embodies and furthers current pedagogy, which emphasizes student-centred learning, the recognition of multiple intelligences, and the analysis and management – rather than just the simple storing – of information.Media education is grounded in the sound pedagogical approach of starting learning where kids are at. The media – music, comics, television, video games, the Internet and even ads – are a part of life that all kids enjoy. Media create a shared environment and are, therefore, catalysts for learning.Media education encourages young people to use multimedia tools creatively, a strategy that contributes to "understanding by doing" and prepares them for a workforce that increasingly demands the use of sophisticated forms of communication.
  • In a society concerned about growing youth apathy to the political process, media education engages young people in “real-world” issues. It helps young people to see themselves as active citizens and potential contributors to public debate.In a diverse and pluralistic society, the study of media helps youth understand how media portrayals can influence how we view different groups in society: it deepens young people’s understanding of diversity, identity and difference.Media literacy helps young people's personal growth and social development by exploring the connections between popular culture – music, fashion, television programming, movies and advertising – and their attitudes, lifestyle choices and self-image.Media literacy helps children critique media representation, teaching them to distinguish between reality and fantasy as they compare media violence and real-life violence, media heroes and real-life heroes, and media role models and real-life roles and expectations.With most Canadian students turning first to the Internet for research, media education is an essential component of Information Communications Technology education, assisting young people in developing critical thinking skills and strategies for optimizing searches, evaluating and authenticating information and examining issues of plagiarism and copyright.
