What a gift to the edu world! I read your bio & definitely are trying to fill in the gaps for educators & schools when it comes to media literacy. Do you work with a university in helping them develop media-literacy strategies for pre-service teachers to engage with? I was shocked in several of my teaching methods courses to see how many pre-service teachers repelled from the idea of incorporating media/technology into the classroom. Oftentimes the idea to use media in our curriculum would be suggested by instructors, but because there was a tremendous learning curve for the students, they would not give it a second thought. I was about 8-10 years older than my pre-service colleagues, but was shocked to see how disinterested and afraid many were to think of media literacy. Quite unfortunate.
