Show Your Media Literacy!

I found this video which I thought was pretty interesting and a bit entertaining as well. I am posting this because this video somewhat relates to just we have been talking about. For starters, it covers a good chunk of the different types of media/media literacy. I found it to be a good video and I hope you all do. If you have a few minutes, you all should take a look. Not only could you enjoy it; but, you might also learn a bit from it.

My opinion of this video? Well, I loved it. haha First, I loved the music (kind of reminded me of the original Nintendo) Also, I love how it would should an image of a particular Media such as a digital camera, google...Then in a creative way, said things like "everyone can contribute", etc. It was cool how they also lead each Media with certain topics, such as "access/gather, evaluate/make sense, create/produce...and so on.

Basically, this video helps to show the ways of media and how one should/can go about living in the media world. Media is everywhere you look in many shapes and forms. Additionally, I feel that this is a good video that highlights the varieties of 'Media Literacy' in classrooms across the world. The goal of this video was to answer the question "What does media literacy look like in your classroom and how do you make it part of developing your students' Literacy." I feel that the video does help to interpret and show what teaching of media literacy is like in classes. This does include journalism classes because a lot of what is in this video such as "create/produce" and "evaluate/make sense" all relate to what a journalist should do when it comes to writing, editing and reporting on a story; Whether it is in print, radio or on television. These steps are all the same and are important to remember in any career of journalism. 

Overall, I highly enjoyed this video clip and feel it is beneficial in explaining the media world we live in--and how it is a good thing to be Media Literate.
