more simple set of tools (Drive, Sites...)
Building awareness of Media Literacy broad concepts where
they support Common Core Standards (i.e. critical reading &
writing with new media, making choices in digital realm:
citizenship, as producers and consumers)
Keep it simple and manageable minimize coreteacher time
spent teaching digital mechanical skills byinvolving the cluster teacher in planning.
Reign in the number of tools teachers are requiredto use, and have them overlap with student toolswhen possible.

Media Literacy & CCSS Relationship
Definition of Media Literacy
critical thinking & literacy extended to new
media: core principles
requires active inquiry and critical thinking about the messages we receive and create.
expands the concept of literacy to include all forms of media.
builds and reinforces skills for learners of all ages and requires practice.
develops informed, reflective and engaged participants essential for a democratic society.
Media are a part of culture and function as agents of socialization.
People use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages.
you are already experts if you boil it down to
basic communication: who's author, what is
their intention, and what audience is this for?
production = "writing in ne"w media
not hard for kids to pick up skills
communication tool box
kids can be empowered through SCHOOL to use
these tools to communicate with the
quality/effectiveness you try to teach them with
writing
21st century citizens need to be able to think
critically about the media they receive and
create in order to be informed citizens of a
mediadriven democracy and lifelong learners.
Relevance to CCSS
fit them into existing work to help connect with standards/goals
new media can be included as
texts, informational texts
nonfiction etc.
media projects can demonstrate communication
skills, comprehension, meaningmaking, etc.
Internet research best practices
perfect for getting students who struggle withambiguity, perseverance, understanding, etc.through discussion and critical analysis.

knock: too much of a security breach
trying to develop it to pull

conference notes could go in directly
you can see other teachers' notes
don't judge your colleagues'
notes! it's useful to
looking to share it with the DOE
anonymize the comments/student
names/ATS/teacher names, etc.
share standards
when a student leaves the school
formative assessments are
shared to the next school that's
it.
share the standards
they are fluid
they are CCSS aligned
important part of the process
hosting
has to exist outside the DOE firewall
