Digital Citizenship in the Classroom: MediaLit is IT!

Digital Citizenship in the Classroom: MediaLit is IT!
Sunday, February 7 (8-5pm) at the Museum of Tolerance
Free for CA Educators

From social media to cyber-bullying, texting, sexting, minecraft, and beyond, young people are faced with innumerable media outlets and ongoing exposure to questionable content. How does this impact social, emotional, and intellectual development? What are the challenges and opportunities? What can teachers do? This free Media Literacy Institute will address how students – young citizens – can learn to think critically and act responsibly as they navigate the turbulent waters of a global media culture.

Set in the experiential setting of the Museum of Tolerance, educators will have an opportunity to work with the Center for Media Literacy (CML) to address how media literacy expands classroom teaching and learning. California educators can attend for free. Contact: Educators@MuseumofTolerance.com
