Identify key skills required for developing media literacy

5. Identify key skills required for developing media literacy

1) The ability to slow down and process the media (By doing so, and by taking time to understand the information we receive, we can start to break the bad habits of our rapid-fire media consumption and sharing)

2) Finding the source (For all media, backing up a source by comparing the information on several different media networks is always a good idea. If you don’t have time to verify it, you shouldn’t share it).

3)Exploring media as a creator (As we empower people to become effective creators, we instill critical thinking skills to support them as they navigate the incredible information flow they encounter daily. And as they learn to create, they will also learn to question what others have created, what they are consuming, and what they choose to share).

4) Understanding bias (Helping children understand that they may process news or information differently based on their personal bias is a key component of critical thinking and media literacy skills. Teaching students that they see the world a certain way based on factors including their environment, hometown, race, gender, and family make-up is important.)
