Inaugural "Media Literacy Week" in the U.S. has officially begun!Contributed by Ari Kissiloff on 11/03/15 The launch of Media Literacy Week (#MediaLitWk) in the United States starts Monday 11/2 and continues through Nov. 6. The mission of Media Literacy Week is to highlight the power of media literacy education and its essential role in education today. Hosted by the National Association for Media Literacy Education, this important inaugural event has the support of more than 60 partnering organizations and media literacy experts from all over the country who are dedicated, passionate media literacy practitioners. Affiliated Media Literacy Week partners (including Ithaca College's media literacy initiative "Project Look Sharp") are working with NAMLE to create and execute participatory events such as presenting interactive #MediaLitWk lessons in the classroom, live webinars and tweet chats, as well as guest blogs, screenings, PSAs and more. "Media literacy skills are essential to living and learning in the 21st century," said NAMLE Executive Director, Michelle Ciulla Lipkin. "It is so important to grow the awareness for media literacy and how vital it is for learners of all ages. I couldn't be more excited for the amazing plans in the works by partners and teachers all over the country during Media Literacy Week."
