V-EDM Media Literacy
Teaches students how to build the critical thinking, writing, and reading skills required in a media rich and increasingly techno centric world. In a world saturated with media messages, digital environments, and social networking, concepts of literacy must expand to include all forms of media. Students also engage in a variety of writing activities in non-traditional media genres, such as blogging and podcast scripting. Students learn how to ask critical questions about the intended audience and underlying purpose of media messages, and study factors which can contribute to bias and affect credibility.
