"Media literacy should not be considered as an add-on to the already crowded curriculum. A truly interdisciplinary activity, media literacy should be conceived as a means of facilitating the integration of critical thinking skills, aesthetics, the study of value messages, and the study of the social and political implications of media texts. Media education should permeate many activities in geography and global education, science, and language arts which will be conditioned by the mass media experiences young people bring to the classroom."

Barry Duncan

 

"You cannot be literate in the 21st Century unless you are literate in all the media that are used to communicate."
