Panel Discussion:
Media Literacy Tools
Wednesday, June 28th

In order for educators to successfully help their students develop media literacy, they must have access to the right tools. This dialogue session brings together educators and media-makers to discuss new teaching resources to help engage with youth and assess their development of media literacy.
