"Although some countries (notably Canada, England, and Australia) have made progress in integrating media literacy into the school curriculum, schools in the United States generally have lagged behind (Hobbs & Frost, 2003). U.S. students may learn something about evaluating sources in research paper assignments and learn to recognize propaganda in social studies, but that's often the extent of their media literacy instruction."The importance of this quote to me is the fact that it spoke about the fact that we supposedly learn different subjects, but in reality we don't learn anything. Are we really learning something if we just cram it into our heads? In everything we read or even things viewed, it has a bigger picture. People in society wonder why the United States is behind. Maybe there is something I miss, that makes me very confused on why can't we be # 1 in education? Obviously traditional isn't working, in order to give students the best education that there is possible. Media Literacy is something that makes the viewer dig deeper than what they see. What will it take for that to change in America? Hopefully we can do something soon about it !
The Picture I chose shows kids unveiling an tv, that shows the globe. Media Literacy is access to the world !
