I found it interesting that these articles seemed to be focused on how negatively media can affect children and teens. These articles make me support media literacy even more especially for elementary and secondary school youth. The Core Concepts: Fundamentals to Media Literacy: The age of new technology is not where it began, the importance…
the quotes that stuck out to me the most were : “In 51% of households, the TV is on “most” of the time [5].” “Kids with a TV in their bedroom spend an average of almost 1.5 hours more per day watching TV than kids without a TV in the bedroom” the first because as…

Technology and media literacy are heavily connected, so does this mean that media literacy is doing what the quote says?
Hey guys! I found it very interesting that the most crucial crisis for children in America is poverty. Many individuals assume that media is the most important issue involving kids. However, I assumed the same thing and did not realize that more than 16 million kids live in poverty in America. I believe if the…
