During this hands-on workshop participants will explore:

  • strategies for integrating media literacy into the curriculum;
  • essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for digital citizenry;
  • preparing students to thrive in a media-saturated world;
  • best practices for implementing project-based/inquiry based learning experiences;
  • preparing a teacher-model using VoiceThread.
