SUBJECT CODE: MS 116
TOPIC OR LESSON: 7: Media and Cyber or Digital Literacies
WEEK: 13
SUB-TOPIC/S: Media Literacy
What Media Literacy is Not
Challenges to Media Literacy Education
Digital Literacy
Socio-Emotional within Digital Literacy
Digital Natives
Challenges to Digital Literacy Education
OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC
Of all the 21st century literacies presented in this book, none of them embodies the
“newness” of these literacies quite like those needed to make sense of the absolute
deluge of information brought to us by the internet. With the vast number of websites,
web forums, and social media applications now available for us, never before has there
been so much information – in nearly every form imaginable, from nearly every source
imaginable – available to us twenty-four hours a day, no matter our location. Where once
we had librarians – “information custodians,” as you will – to curate the information we
regularly ingest, now there is nothing standing between the individual and the wellspring
of information represented by the internet.
However, as we will soon discover, it is the so-called old literacies that will serve as just as
faithfully in the new contexts we find ourselves today as they have done in the past. To
begin our investigation, we must first understand the relationship between Media Literacy
and Cyber/Digital Literacy.
