Hi Uriah - this is a great question. Unfortunately, big questions on the comment wall are not easy for folks to respond to and get buried over time.

Would you consider moving this question above in the discussion forum? When you post your ? above your "affinity group" peeps can give you feedback. Because forum ?s have URLs it will be in there for the next person with a similar ? AND I can broadcast the question to the whole Ning on crowdsource Tuesday.

Thanks for getting in the mix - as always - please share more cool ?'s and ideas!

Hi Renee - thanks so much for sharing. I think Frank made a link for it above in the discussion forum BUT do consider moving your wall post up above us BECAUSE (drum roll) that way your question has a URL and a "reply feature."

Unfortunately, big ideas on the comment wall (here) are not easy to respond to and get buried over time.

When you post a ? or resource in a special interest group discussion forum - your "affinity group" peeps can give you feedback. Also, because diss forum posts have URLs it will be archived AND I can broadcast the question to the whole Ning for the Week in Review!

Thanks for all your great work - as always - please share more cool resources when you can!

Hope you all get a chance to read my white paper, "Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action" sponsored by the Knight Foundation and the Aspen Institute. Key messages include:
1. We need a unified conceptualization of digital and media literacy that includes all the new literacies--- "one ring to unite them all"
2. There are a set of core instructional practices of DML
3. Simply using technology is not the same as having DML competencies
4. Empowerment and protectionist approaches are not in opposition to each other; they are complementary
5. DML can support the acquisition of traditional reading comprehension and writing skills-- we need to understand how to exploit this more effectively
6. Using news and current events to support DML is important but we must address important challenges that occur when this work is done in K-12 classrooms

Hey David - Interesting article! Thank you for sharing. Feel free to post a short excerpt and hyperlink of your blog up above - if you do it will have a permanent URL here and we can share that during the week in review broadcast that goes out to everyone! Posts on the comment wall tend to get lost over time!

I thought this group might like to read the piece I placed on the Huffington Post as of last night, re: research literacy for parents and journalists. Comments on the HuffPo site or here most welcome!

Oh and Frank - would you mind copying and pasting your great answer up above so we can archive the great info as well. I'll crowdsource it soon.

I know, I'm a great traffic cop :)

Nice additions (as always) Frank!

Thanks, Frank! This is a big help.

Vanessa, The National Communications Association has authored standards: Competent Communicators: K-12 Speaking, Listening and Media Literacy Standards and Competencies and published two workbooks on this topic.

In addition: your students should be familiar with BOTH the Core Concepts of Media Literacy as well as the corresponding critical thinking questions. These can and should be applied to all media messages.

I offer my website, The Media Literacy Clearinghouse, as a resource for you and your students.

Vanessa - this certainly seems like the right group - and you have a great question - just consider copying and pasting the question above in the discussion forum so
1. It does not get buried.
2. So it has a URL so I can share it on a crowdsource Tuesday.

Thanks for joining the discussion!
