Description

On this tour, you’ll see the wonders of inquiry-based media literacy education, including how to use MLE methods to effectively implement many of the Common Core Standards. Your tour guides for this adventure – one a specialist in early childhood and the other focused on secondary level education – are veteran media literacy educators and teacher trainers. They’ll blend pedagogy with practice in an entertaining and interactive session that will help participants assess their own efforts and see new teaching possibilities. And they’ll make a strong case that the implementation of the Common Core cannot be adequately achieved without media literacy education. So bring your questions, frustrations, and your best ideas for lessons and activities to share.
