KQED EdNet Courses -- Spring 2004:
Introducing Media Literacy (1 CEU)
Lecture/demonstration
This course will introduce key media literacy concepts and include a model for effective and interactive ways of using video. A variety of video clips and interactive activities will be employed to demonstrate the concepts and encourage participants to think critically about the media - about how it operates and how we as spectators "read" or interact with our mediated culture. In the final class, participants will be invited to present a short video extract of their choice to the group and demonstrate an understanding of one media literacy concept.
Instructor: Maxine Einhorn, M.A.

In the final class, students will work design curriculum and a community outreach plan around a documentary and present it to the class.

Participants must come to the workshop with a one-page story and with 10 digitized images (scans or digital pictures). Alternatively, each participant can create a story on 3X5 index cards with a prompt and then download images on the first day of the workshop.

Students participating in the course will be required to develop their own curricular unit on an arts story and to present the unit to their colleagues.
