Using a Media Literacy Lens to Examine Media Coverage:
From the Civil Rights movement to today, how we (and our students) see and understand our world depends on our ability to "read" the pictures. Media educator Frank Baker will present on visual literacy and media literacy--important 21st century skills all students need. (Recommended Readings Below)

Chanda Robinson will cover a comparison between the 2011 standards and the newly adopted standards.
