By using the media and encouraging media literacy in the classroom teachers can better prepare students for life by promoting critical thinking skills, teaching creativity in problem solving and identifying skills that foster self esteem in order to ensure positive relationships. Educators will learn how using the media in the classroom can engage students in real world problem solving in a fun and meaningful way.
