Hi everyone! My name is Jaclyn Siegel and I'm happy to be part of this media literacy learning cohort :)

I have a few media literacy motivations! First, as a (history) educator and now administrator, I am motivated to provide a space for my students to develop & strengthen their media literacy skills. I also present on the importance of media literacy and ML education to international journalists and those who engage with the Department of State's International Visitors Leadership Program. As an advocate, I work as a representative from Media Literacy Now to promote ML education legislation in NYS (6 years and counting).

Based on the Media Literacy Motivations quiz: I am first and foremost an activist (not surprising), followed by a Techie and a Demystifier.

I decided to add an older action shot because my favorite part is the toddler foot (photo credit: my son).

Hello everyone,

I am writing from Spain, and I am so grateful for being part of this. Thank you very much for this opportunity.

I am a high school teacher, working with teenagers from 12 to 18 years old. I keep trying to bring the English language closer to my students everyday, not only through language teaching but also through music, history, movies, etc.

My media literacy motivations involve being able to transform my lessons and building motivated students who are capable of critically analyze content found online and become smart searches.

Hello Friends, my name is Shelley Wolfe, I am the Executive Director for PSTV(Educational Channel) for School District of Philadelphia. I am also a student and an entrepreneur. I love traveling, music , and experiencing creative connections through learning and teaching

2. My media literacy motivations are to continue my learning journey in this arena so I can create more inclusive programs for my learners. My ML motivations were my Watchdog, Activist and Professor.

2. On the Motivations Horoscope I am an activist. My research & teaching have been grounded in social justice issues. I have also been fortunate to learn with/from 3 youth YouTubers who identify as media activists. My background is in literacies & my current preoccupation is eco-literacies.

3. Critical AI literacy has become important for all educators. So, even though I am not very interested in it, during the Institute I plan to design an introductory module for the Teacher Candidates I work with in my Grades 1-8 Language Arts courses, and for my grad course on integrating technologies across the curriculum. As an "East" I have been known to get bogged down in "big picture" thinking!

1. Hello! I'm Charnell Peters (she/her). I'm currently a professor of race and media at St. Louis University.

2. One of my media literacy motiviations is to help students think critically about their media consumption and production, particularly around issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Second, because my research also involves media, I'm interested in the way media and technologies shape marginalized identities and relationships. My motivations horoscopes are Demystifier and Watchdog.

1. Alisa Brandt, Library Director of The Bishop's School (grades 6-12 independent school).

2. My media literacy motivations stem from an increasingly urgent sense that our students need to practice some critical thinking habits on a regular basis because media has changed so much in such a short amount of time. AI is complicating this need as well. The media literacy motivation that most closely matches my own would be the Demystifier.

Hi Friends,

I am Natalie Leake, a secondary English teacher from West Hartford, CT and leader through HigherEd. for emerging educational technologies, passionate about augmenting curriculums with media literacy education, especially as we work to transform how we achieve core skills in the humanites in the face of AI and the need for new digital literacies.

I am a "watchdog" and find it fairly accurate! I look forward to connecting and learning with you.

I am very new to media literacy. I took a certificate in the subject during the 2022-2023 semesters. My interest is giving adults tools to decode the news. I have created a PowerPoint for the purpose of doing workshops. The field seems geared to k - 12 and college. Adults that are already out in the world or retired have nothing geared to them. I am interested in learning more about all aspects of media literacy, whether I am able to implement them or not. This experience will broaden me out as a person. For my micro credential, I signed up for Teaching the Conspiracies. I lean toward infographics, but I think I would benefit from the Conspiracies at this point. Hard decision for me.​

My name is Ana Ruiz and my motivations in media literacy are many. I am passionate about understanding how media influences our perception of the world and how we can use it effectively to communicate our ideas. On the Motivational Horoscope, I identify with the 'Explorer', always seeking to learn and discover more about the world through media.
Instead of a photo of myself, I would like to share an image that I feel represents my identity: a bright star in the night sky. For me, it symbolises my love of astronomy and my constant quest for knowledge.

Best regards,
Ana

Sorry for the somewhat pixelated view of me!  I am still getting the hang of Padlet's features.

1. I'm Lindsey Sherrill. I'm an assistant professor of business communication at the University of North Alabama, and a big part of my teaching is information and media literacy. I'm in the College of Business, so for many of my students, my class is the only college-level dive into finding and using credible media that they get.

2. I'm a Activist, Watchdog, and Professional. That makes a ton of sense to me--I'm a former journalist, a writing professor, and my research tends toward media sociology and media effects. I wrote my dissertation on the intersection of true crime media and the criminal justice reform movement. My motivation for teaching are strongly tied to my passion for understanding the origins and motivations of the messages we receive every day, and teaching students how to parse those issues for themselves.
