Master Series Webinar - Multimedia Literacy

This Multimedia Literacy webinar, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) was presented by Sarah Armstrong on June 16, 2011. Armstrong posits that, at present, we all suffer from TMI (too much information); as such, educators must help students sort through what they see and hear from the myriad of sources available, including television, radio, billboards, books, magazines, and the Internet. The fields of digital and information literacy provide solid criteria for evaluating websites, video segments, TV ads, and other media. Armstrong argues that familiarizing students with these tools equips them for critically analyzing a media from any platform. This webinar is accompanied by both a handout and corresponding webinar slides. 

The webinar is one hour and 21 minutes in length.
