Online Training on Media Literacy
Organized by CIET-NCERT in collaboration with Indian Institute of Mass Communication
Media literacy education is a key 21st century skill, which teaches students to apply critical thinking to media messages and to use media to create their own messages. Media literacy is crucial to the health and well-being of learners, as well as their future participation in our democracy's civic and economic life. The ability to analyze and evaluate various types of media and the messages they convey is referred to as media literacy. In today's world, media is an integral part of our daily lives. Nonetheless, many people lack the knowledge and critical thinking skills required to understand and interpret information, and some are unaware of how media sources influence their opinions and decisions. Reviewing media literacy definitions, terminology, and real-world examples can help one improve their ability to decipher meaning.
Media Literacy fosters active inquiry and critical thinking about the messages we receive and create. It broadens the definition of literacy to include all forms of media and cultivates informed, reflective, and engaged citizens, which are essential for a democratic society. Media Literacy affirms that people use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages.
In light of the importance of media literacy in the field, CIET-NCERT in collaboration with the Department of New Media and Information Technology, Indian Institute of Mass Communication, is organizing a five hours online training on “Media Literacy” from 20-24 February 2023 from 4.00 pm-5.00 pm to leverage the understanding of teachers, students, teacher educators, administrators and various stakeholders on media literacy and its impact on teaching-learning processes.
