The video @ at this link is very informative on considering how to link media literacy to the curriculum we support every day in our roles.   http://newmedialiteracies.org/ [1]

Project New Media Literacies (NML), a research initiative based within MIT's Comparative Media Studies program, explores how we might best equip young people with the social skills and cultural competencies required to become full participants in an emergent media landscape and raise public understanding about what it means to be literate in a globally interconnected, multicultural world.
