In our rapidly evolving multimedia landscape, students are navigating a digital world flooded with a multitude of perspectives and information sources. The constant influx of content through social media and the internet exposes them to a deluge of fake news, misinformation, and disinformation. These influences significantly impact their values, beliefs, and principles. It is crucial to empower our students with the essential skills to decode and analyze media critically. Welcome to "Media Literacy: Developing Critical Thinkers in a Multimedia World," a comprehensive course designed to equip educators across all subject areas with the tools and knowledge necessary to guide their students through this media-rich environment. Instead of prescribing what to think, this course empowers educators to teach their students how to think critically about the information they encounter daily. For grades 4 and up.
