Revelation #10 - Teaching students how to be media literate is super important. Teaching my daughter the same thing is twice that. I do not want her growing up believing all the bullshit about women that Matel and other companies propagate. Nuff’ said.
Agreed, Doug, on this last revelation!
ReplyDeleteAt day's end, media education is about training our children for possible FEED-like future worlds.
And you've provided an excellent TOP TEN list here - highlights for me included Nicholas Carr's blogged response to Steven Pinker's whining, and the "How To Use Google Reader" video, which I will use in my graduate level media education course come fall.
Bravo - you have learned much from this course!

AMEN! That's the beauty of media literacy for sure. Thank you for all your thoughtful top ten revelations, as well as your active participation and contributions to class discussions. Your daughter and students are lucky to have you! Please keep in touch. We'd truly love to hear how all this unfolds for you as you move forward with these plans in both your personal and professional life. :)
