We know that the everyday lives of our students are inundated with media. This often-overwhelming menu of media-rich entrées gets served up at a rate that seems to value overconsumption more than proper and meaningful digestion. As educators, we may be left wondering, how do we beef up (or tofu up , if you prefer) our students’ appetites for media-literacy so that they can skillfully navigate our ever-changing, media-saturated landscape?

Common Sense Education offers free pre-built lessons for K-12 surrounding digital citizenship and staying safe online. Their lessons include a teacher's guide, lesson slides, activities with answer keys, videos, and songs for younger grades to help deliver the lesson. Teachers do need to create an account in order to access the lessons but it is free and you have total access once you sign up. I personally use this in connection with my Media Studies course and love the lessons that they offer. Super simple, and relevant to the students and their interactions online. They also offer a tips sheet and a parent connection sheet for each of their small themed units.

We’ve mentioned already that there’s a lot of money in media and a huge chunk of that money is spent on trying to get you to do something – buy something, vote a certain way, change a behavior. How does advertising work? And what’s the difference between advertising, public relations, and propaganda? We’re going to talk about all that and more today.
