Kids take in a huge amount of information from a wide array of sources, far beyond the traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines) of most parents' youth. There are text messages, memes, viral videos, social media, video games, advertising, and more. But all media shares one thing: Someone created it. And it was created for a reason. Understanding that reason is the basis of media literacy. ]]> 2021-10-31 20:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jennahaenggi/7gmsd6a4o37e4ah/wish/1857171589 Why does media literacy matter ? jennahaenggi https://padlet.com/jennahaenggi/7gmsd6a4o37e4ah/wish/1857182297
