Abstract

Media literacy education is required by most state curricular in this country. It is still not taught systematically in our schools. Teachers are worried about adding a new subject to their already crowded curriculum. This article addresses this problem by showing teachers that by nature media literacy encourages an interdisciplinary approach to education. Teachers can make connections across content areas by teaching with media and about media. This article demonstrates how media literacy education can be integrated into every subject we teach through classroom examples.
