Media literacy...............where is it headed? There was an article published on Edutopia entitled Why Media Literacy is Not Just For Kids by Suzi Boss. The article brought forth many interesting ideas. One important idea she addresses is that creating a society of individuals that are media literate, it has to be a national community education effort. I agree that we need to improve the literacy of the masses, however, there needs to be a great effort to first improve the level of media literacy of those that are responsible for teaching the current student population. There area many educators that are not as technologically literate as the students they are attempting to engage in their classrooms. We need to address these issues in order to make our students and general population more globally competitive. However, is simply using the technology and the tools enough or do we need to push our students to think further outside the box and to create and design their own tools?
