Spotlight on Villanova University's Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest
Villanova University's Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest has created a resource called, "6 Steps To Historical Literacy." When readers find historical information, a historical statement, or a reference to historical fact in any online media, they encourage them to ask themselves these questions above and think critically about the information they encounter. Director,
Jason Steinhauer, says " We are consuming incredible amounts of media, and a significant percentage of its contents are historical in nature. That has an effect on what we know about the past, what we believe to be true, and how we study history. Historians have an obligation to be a part of these conversations on media literacy..."

This publication is part of the UNESCO book series on Internet freedom. This report combines research findings from two related research studies carried out for UNESCO.

Book Reviewers Needed for JMLE

Journal of Media Literacy Education. Book reviews help people make good decisions about what to read and use. NAMLE members can add a book to the list, volunteer to write a review, or just
take a look at the amazing titles.
NAMLE members are encouraged to review the guidelines for reviewing books and media resources. Questions about submitting a book or media resource review can be directed to Michael Robb Grieco at [email protected].

Media Smarts
just launched a video, tipsheet and web section on finding and verifying information on health and science topics. Two of the most important kinds of information we look for online are about health and science.

Using this resource students will be able to understand the importance of verifying online sources. Please check out Media Smart's
web section
and video and tip sheet.
The News Literacy Project

Youth Media Literacy Education
Programs
Media Power Youth
provides youth media literacy education programs.
Bring a media literacy workshop to your school or community and empower kids to make safe, healthy choices through smart use of media. They can customize a workshop based on your needs and audience. Youth learn the basics of media literacy and apply their skills to a specific health topic (i.e. violence, bullying, alcohol, tobacco, vaping, healthy eating, body image, self esteem, depression). Students will also delve into critical health-focused media literacy skills and then apply their learning to create their own productions, often a Public Service Announcement (PSA). All aspects of pre-production, production and post production are included, empowering participants to be both critical media consumers and positive message makers. To arrange a youth media program for your school, please contact them
here.

They also provide multi-school Digital Leadership Training to equip students with everything they need to take steps against negativity online. Workshops for parents are also available.

Social Media As a Tool
Social Assurity
courseware takes the world-changing advantages of social media for granted. This course teaches your students to use some familiar tools for an unfamiliar purpose-the smart pursuit of a great college education.
In no time, students learn to use Facebook or Instagram to curate a digital self-portrait that accurately reflects their interests and achievements-both in and out of school. Add a LinkedIn profile for community building, a YouTube channel for video presentations, and a Twitter feed for outreach, and students have a multi-faceted presence, based on today's best practices, designed to focus colleges on their passions, potential and character. Students will grow a network of like-minded young people and potential mentors in their fields of interest. To learn more ask their representative: [email protected].
