Media Literacy
Media literacy includes the ability to understand, analyze, and create different forms of media content, including text, images, audio, and video. This enables students with different learning styles and preferences to engage with and understand subject content in different ways. By using different media formats and methods, teachers can meet students' varying needs and increase their engagement and understanding.
Digitalization has led to a growing use of moving images as a form of communication in most areas and situations. New technologies for production and consumption create new ways of communicating audiovisually but also affect what we communicate and why.
Young people today are both producers and consumers of media content. The boundaries between consumption and production have blurred. We photograph and record video, share and comment on social media in a way that can best be described as collective storytelling. The moving image, and thus a large part of young people's reality, requires knowledge and skills that education must meet.
