Hey, I wrote a book ! Capstone Press Audience: Grades 3-5 Approach: learning to ask questions questions

Information-Media-Technological Literacy Defining Your Place In The Curriculum “While educators rightly emphasize the development of language competencies, it is also valuable for students to learn symbol systems, including images, sound and music, as a means of self-expression and communication, as these are now an integral part of contemporary life.” “While educators rightly emphasize the development of language competencies, it is also valuable for students to learn symbol systems, including images, sound and music, as a means of self-expression and communication, as these are now an integral part of contemporary life.” Dr. Renee Hobbs Temple University “Multiple Visions of Multimedia Literacy: Emerging Areas of Synthesis” International Handbook of Literacy and Technology, Volume II

Information-Media-Technological Literacy Defining Your Place In The Curriculum “A growing body of research suggests that media literacy instruction improves student reading, viewing, and listening comprehension of print, audio, and videotexts; message analysis and interpretation; and writing skills. As students progress, they develop transferable analytical tools for learning and gain concrete connections between the curriculum and their experiences outside of school.” “A growing body of research suggests that media literacy instruction improves student reading, viewing, and listening comprehension of print, audio, and videotexts; message analysis and interpretation; and writing skills. As students progress, they develop transferable analytical tools for learning and gain concrete connections between the curriculum and their experiences outside of school.” Media Matters March 2005

Information-Media-Technological Literacy Defining Your Place In The Curriculum “We are faced with the consequences of not teaching our children to decode the content. The persuasiveness of the Internet will lead to more and more students potentially being manipulated by the media.” Alan November author: Empowering Students With Technology
