Media+Literacy

I am adding a Media Literacy component to my course, and to begin, I will just paste in links to sites that have potential for buidling experiences for my students.

Listen to these short podcasts to understand what ML is and why it's important. http://www.understandmedia.com/index.php/podcasts

Understandmedia has materials that are free to use by educators. Just link to the site; don't post his materials on your site.

Center for Media Literacy asks for payment and has very specific rules about permissions to use so be aware before going there, even though their stuff looks great. Potential class textbook?
