This weekend is the bi-annual NAMLE conference in Philadelphia. At the conference, I will be delivering a presentation titled “Contexts, Connections, Collaboration: Integrating Critical Thinking and Creative Problem Solving in Media Literacy Education.”
One particularly exciting aspect of the event is that one of the keynote speakers is Douglas Rushkoff, who is a leading figure in media studies. In fact, a documentary that he hosted for PBS is one I have used many times: “The Merchants of Cool.” I highly recommend this piece for secondary school media teachers or communications professors.
