Overview on Media literacy

Let’s know together about media literacy. If anyone is unfamiliar with the concept, it is the practice of critically thinking about the media one consumes for example, (Television & Radio programs, Newspapers, commercials and the internet, etc.) Many peers are talking and writing about media literacy as a process of accessing, analyzing, evaluating and creating messages in a wide variety of media modes. Media literacy offers teachers opportunities to integrate pictures, sound and animations together to deliver lessons in classroom and get their students more engaged in the activities. Media literacy educates public and disseminates information to users. It’s very important to know media literacy as people of all ages absorb hundreds of mediated messages every day, especially our kids. We have to protect and immunize them against the commercial media which is inappropriate for them to learn new things related to their ages. Literacy is widely spread so it could contribute to bridging the digital divide, if it’s effectively employed. If we are to maximize the digital opportunity, we will need to ensure a population that is confident and empowered to access, use and create digital media.

Excerpted from writtoreply,”keeping children and young people safe from harm must be the priority and responsibility of us all. While children need to be able to learn, have new experiences and enjoy their childhoods, we need to help families strike the right balance between keeping children safe and allowing them the freedom they need”. Many websites found on Internet can be of low educational value and shouldn't be used in a classroom setting. If the educational website to be used in the classroom, the content should be without particular commercial, political, gender or racial bias, the teacher must address the bias in a classroom. I concluded my input with the following quotation and I feel this topic is evoking more discussions to find out what experts said. “The current statutory and specific remit on media literacy is contained within s.11 of the Communications Act 2003. As this report makes clear, since 2003 there have been significant market changes in the availability of digital technologies and how they are used. We will ask Ofcom to make an assessment of its current responsibilities in relation to media literacy and, working with the BBC and others, to recommend a new definition and ambition for a National Media Literacy Plan.
