Media Literacy

Media literacy in the past tended to focus on alerting students to stereotypes, advertising, and propaganda and on protecting them from undesirable influences. Today's digital media literacy encompasses many additional topics, from using search engines, to creating Web sites and online profiles, to participating in social networking.


I agree with this statement so much. When something is new so many people keep it themselves until it gets old and they want to share it with people. For Example Pro- Active, you always have celebrities saying how great it worked when they got it and now u should try it out. I feel its a the same with technology. As Photoshop was new , Big companies had it but now its used so much in the public. We are now using the program for our own uses to created websites and online profiles.




I thought this was interesting because it has all types of social networks now and i only now a handful of them .. and then people say teenagers aren't creative. .. SMH !
