Goals for Today Global/Local: relationships in the Global Village Globalization of media The media as “superpeer” – youth socialization A call for media literacy education An approach to media literacy education: globalization at work Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Do we know our ABC’s? Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

What have we learned? The global village is real and we live in it Engagement with media means having a relationship with media and each other All media are educational All media are carefully manufactured technology-driven products Media may be entertaining…but not “just entertainment” Media content is everywhere…we need process skills (analysis/critical thinking) Process skills take training and practice to learn Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

The Global Village H. Marshall McLuhan: Linking of electronic information would create an interconnected global village Collapsing of space and time barriers Interacting and living on global scale Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Youth Today Average of 6.5 – 8 hours per day interacting with multimedia 93% of teens have been online 63% have cellphones 55% belong to social networking site 59% create content 57% watch YouTube Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Youth Today SCREENAGERS Multimedia IS their culture Read and “write” using images, words and sounds World is instant global network 24/7 -- DouglasRushkoff “Playing the Future” 1996 Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Shift from local to global Filtering of values, lifestyles and points of view through parents and other known adults in local village > Global input on values, lifestyles and points of view with digital technology filters Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Digital Filtering is Inadequate Discernment – judgment Volume of messages The local village is often overwhelmed by the global village: youth have more in common with each other than families Solutions wanted and needed > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Glocalization “The interpretation of the global and the local resulting in unique outcomes in geographic areas” – Ritzer, 2003 > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Early Globalocal Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village (Video Clip)

The World Upside Down Re-examine values, lifestyles, points of view What should be valued? What should be passed along? Education and empowerment for audiences to gain understanding and agency Global media environment blends global and local perspectives Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Glocalization of Media Local Interprets Global > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Glocalization of Media Global Produces Local > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Glocalization of Media Local Becomes Global > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Glocalization of Media Near yet far… Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Children are still children… Need guidance… Navigation skills > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Age-old process taught in new ways Learn what was once a given in local village, face-to-face: Questioning An internalized process for discernment Critical autonomy in decision-making in accordance with personal and social values

Grassroots… Early pioneers: E. Marshall McLuhan, Sister Bede Sullivan, Fr. John Culkin (1960’s – 1980’s) Second wave: early conferences in Canada, 1990’s Today: Global movement > Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Media Literacy Skills Content mastery no longer “king” of learning… Now what’s needed is facility with: accessing analyzing evaluating responding and communicating involving and participating Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Process Skills “Most of what we have called formal education has been intended to imprint on the human mind all of the information that we might need for a lifetime. Education is geared toward information storage. “Today that is neither possible nor necessary. Rather, humankind needs to be taught how to process information that is stored through technology. Education needs to be geared toward the handling of data rather than the accumulation of data.” -- David Berlo, Communication and Behavior, 1975 Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Lifelong Media Relationship Efficient information managers Wise consumers Responsible producers Active participants Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Media Literacy More about education than it is about media “…expands literacy to include reading and writing through the use of new and emerging communication tools. It is learning that demands the critical, independent and creative use of information.” – Kathleen Tyner, Literacy in a Digital World: Teaching and Learning in the Age of Information Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

Media Literacy Process skills: Not just a new subject to teach, but a new way to teach all subjects Process skills apply to acquiring all content knowledge Process skills are internalized through practice over time Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village

What Media Literacy is NOT Media bashing is not media literacy However, media literacy sometimes involves criticizing the media Media production is not media literacy Although media literacy should include media production Teaching with media is not media literacy One must also teach about media Media literacy does not mean “don’t watch” It means “engage carefully, think critically” Globalocal: Media Literacy for the Global Village
