On October 23, 2010 the Association for Media Literacy hosted a conference at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (Toronto).
Mark Lipton (University of Guelph and the Media Education Project) explains how teachers can use social media as functional tools and critical resources to support their professional learning networks. Teaching 'about' media and 'through' media, teachers can negotiate the barriers and benefits of media literacy in the classroom, as well as develop student's 21st Century learning skills, such as collaboration and connectivity.
