8.1;INTRODUCTION;46
8.2;MEDIA LITERACY;47
8.2.1;1. Meets the needs of students to be wise consumers of media, managers of information and responsible producers of their ideas using the powerful multimedia tools of a global media culture.;48
8.2.2;2. Engages students … bringing the world of media into the classroom connects learning with “real life” and validates their media culture as a rich environment for learning.;48
8.2.3;3. Gives students and teachers alike a common approach to critical thinking that, when internalized, becomes second nature for life.;48
8.2.4;4. Provides an opportunity for integrating all subject areas and creating a common vocabulary that applies across all disciplines.;48
8.2.5;5. Helps meet state standards while, at the same time using fresh contemporary media content which students love.;48
8.2.6;6. Increases the ability and proficiency of students to communicate (express) and disseminate their thoughts and ideas in a wide (and growing) range of print and electronic media forms--and even international venues.;48
8.2.7;7. Media literacy’s “inquiry process” transforms teaching and frees the teacher to learn along with students--becoming a “guide on the side” rather than a “sage on the stage.”;48
8.2.8;8. By focusing on process skills rather than content knowledge, students gain the ability to analyze any message in any media and thus are empowered for living all their lives in a media-saturated culture (CML, 2009b).;48
