This article, discussing media literacy, really reinforces the concepts we’re learning in our graduate classes. Twenty-first century students have access to more information through technology than previous generations. I completely agree with the statement that “students need to learn how to find what they need to know when they need to know it” (Media Literacy Org, 9). We as teachers need to show students how to analyze and evaluate the information they find so that they can be critical thinkers and determine its usefulness.
