life on the screen
Quote:
If people aren't taught the language of sound and images, shouldn't they be considered as illiterate as if they left college without being able to read or write?
Response:
I feel that this quote is very true. I find even more interesting that it came from George Lucas the creator of Star Wars. With the way technology is changing everyday, I think that if you are not literate at it then you will be considered illiterate. Being able to use technology properly is going to be a major part of any job that our students will get. If they can not properly use sound and video they will have a difficult time putting slide show presentations together and also using power point to do projects.

why teach media literacy
Quote:
Researchers find that reading for understanding online requires the same skills as offline reading, including using prior knowledge and making predictions, plus a set of additional critical-thinking skills that reflect the open-ended, continually changing online context(David, 2009).
Reaction:
Research going on today not only suggests that we need to make children proficient readers in text books but also on the internet and using web pages. After reading the the research part of the article I was surprised at how many kids were required to use the internet at school to so work. I think that if we are going to be having kids use the internet that they do need to be able to recognize the good and bad of the web sites.
Links:
on this website the author talks about what we should do to help our children learn about media literacy, it doesn't necessarily say its the teacher's job but more of the parents. But I still thought it was good information.

learning media literacy
Quote:
The tools of visual, media, an information literacy must be taught in school because they will (or won't) be used at home.(Abilock, 2003)
Reaction:
I agree that we need to help students learn the different types of media. I think that they need to know what all the different colors can stand for and how using a color in different ways can make you think differently. I also feel that it is important that they realize how different camera angles can be used to make the person in the picture look and appear to be acting in a way that they are not (the picture of President Bush in the article) or even make them look bigger as in the pictures of Arnold that we saw in class.

magazine cover
A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.
