Getting Started Today: Free Resources for Integrating Media Decoding throughout the K-12 Curriculum

Today’s educators are often excited about teaching media literacy with their students, but often don’t have the time to find media examples for decoding or ways to build media decoding into their already full curriculum. This highly interactive webinar will showcase Project Look Sharp’s free resources for educators – including more than 850 free media literacy lessons that use an inquiry-based, curriculum-driven, student-centered approach to building critical thinking and analysis skills from kindergarten through college. Teachers and librarians will come away with both the materials and PD resources to integrate media literacy immediately into their work with students, and to share with their administrators and colleagues.
