Media Literacy Resources
Throughout my research on media literacy and my work as a media literacy instructor and educator, I have come across a number of helpful resources. In this section, I highlight the resources for teaching media literacy as well as a growing list of youth media organizations from across the globe. I hope that through both the teaching resources and the organizations provided, I will help to connect and encourage other teachers to engage in media literacy education.

development through the use of media literacy.
