In the Baltimore-Washington area, we are well-known for media literacy
instruction. A combined library/technology department, we have a
well-developed US elective that is focused on four themes: the impact of
images, politics and citizenship in a media age, the selling of
addiction and the media in war and peace.
Our librarians work with our tech teachers to teach media, visual and
information literacy thru our MS tech classes and we do discrete lessons
in our LS on advertising and media stereotyping, as developmentally
appropriate.
Media production is part of all these efforts since only by that process
can students experience making editorial and ethical decisions.
