CML : Why Media Literacy is Important
Why is media literacy important? Here's a beginning list of reasons from thinkers and leaders in the field.
Core Principles of Media Literacy Education - NAMLE - National Association for Media Literacy Education - Advancing Media Literacy Education in America
As the field of media literacy education has matured over the past 25 years, its focus has evolved from WHAT is taught to HOW we teach. The Core Principles of Media Literacy Education is a NAMLE project to expand the boundaries of the field and encompass the opportunities and possibilities of 21st century learning technologies to transform both learning and teaching.
Empathy in the Time of Technology: How Storytelling is the Key to Empathy
Will the transhuman technologies that our accelerating future promises enable us to increase our empathy to others? Or will their use decrease our ability to understand ‘the other’ that exists outside our own selves, families, communities and cultures? As the world grows smaller and more connected, humans will grow ever more divergent because of their possession – or not – of a multitude of transhuman technologies, and so the role of empathy grows larger and more important than ever. In theory, sensory/media input stimulates mirror neurons, which enable empathy.Practically, empathy is created through storytelling, which is not only the most successful remote means of creating social empathy, but has actually been the engine of social/cultural liberalization and change. I will demonstrate both the positive and negative affects on empathy through the increasing reliance we have on transhuman media technologies and how I believe storytelling is the key to empathy creation.

We Will Soon Land on the Moon - Newspaper Tree El Paso
Textbook companies over the years have tried to address this problem by providing additional add-ons and perks with their textbooks, such as CDs or DVDs with information that had been added since the book was published, websites that kept the content current by providing “up-to-date” information about a topic, or by trying to get states to adopt a quicker refresh cycle. None of these tactics have been successful.
