Teachers can start to teach about digital literacy at the remember, understand and apply level of Bloom's. This might look like students memorizing the steps it takes to log on the computer and access certain websites, then progress to them using websites or other media tools. Analyze, evaluate and create require a higher level of thinking and might be taught about after students have had more exposure to digital literacy. This would take the form of more complex activities such as, analyzing social media platforms, evaluating the accuracy of information on a website, or creating a digital platform.]]> 2022-03-03 21:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jillianrettger/3sxzivmyy25k5jdi/wish/2076703235 jillianrettger https://padlet.com/jillianrettger/3sxzivmyy25k5jdi/wish/2084853076 1. Give students the chance to create media, not just analyze media. 
2. Listen to what media outlets your students are using and are interested in. 
3. Make media education about asking questions, not just finding answers. 
4. Let students bring media to the classroom setting.
5. Keep up to date with media trends and development.]]> 2022-03-08 21:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jillianrettger/3sxzivmyy25k5jdi/wish/2084853076 jillianrettger https://padlet.com/jillianrettger/3sxzivmyy25k5jdi/wish/2084859862 In the classroom, students can look at how their views of history and historical events have been shaped by media through films, newspapers, and news coverage of events. ]]> 2022-03-08 21:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jillianrettger/3sxzivmyy25k5jdi/wish/2084859862 jillianrettger https://padlet.com/jillianrettger/3sxzivmyy25k5jdi/wish/2084862341 Students could look at how the commercial pressures of the music industry affect the creation of music.
