Media Literacy meets ISTE-NETS

1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity 
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
     a. Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness

     I choose standard number one because teachers with the correct knowledge of media literacy can pass this on to their students and encourage a creative learning experience. If a student needed to know the difference between fact and fiction, (in research, of course), the student would be able to use this advanced way of learning to easily get his answer. 

2. Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments 
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S.

     With standard number two, it widens the learning experience by adding contemporary tools and resources which maximizes the content that the children are learning. The students would use media literacy to draw out the correct messages, and throw out the false.
     

Media literacy needs to be taught in schools because there is so much technology. It's very important for children/students to learn about media literacy because they see it everywhere, everyday.
