As a Media Literacy teacher myself, I often wonder how many other educators are also covering this important, timely subject. What are networks available for teachers to share best practices and projects?

Great info - Thanks. I believe momentum is really building for teaching media lit at all levels. I think the tipping point will be parents and teachers realizing that with kids spending 6-9 hours a day in front of screen (see new study in the news this week) they need help managing those influences. ML gives students those tools.

I agree, Rushkoff is a tremendous resource. I used his "Merchants of Cool" FRONTLINE for years with my high school students. His (much) newer "Generation Like" is outstanding. Hits the nail on the head and teens recognize that right away. It is free online here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/generation-like/ FRONTLINE also posts transcripts which is great for teachers.
