As an educator I view media literacy in a very sceptical light. I see the consequences that media can have on my students directly. Media liteacy is a very powerful tool, and like all powerful tools if you aren't careful it can become destructive. The way that I feel media literacy fits into an already crowded, standardized curriculm is that unfortunately media literacy is placed on the back burner. It is difficult for the most dedicated educators to teach media literacy in the classroom. So much pressure is pushed upon educators to have high test scores in literacy and math that not only media literacy but all other subjects are being left behind. With hope more eductors can learn how to incorportate media literacy into curriculm already taught.

My overall philosophy of education is every child has the opportunity to suceed and acomplish all that they desire. We are not here to judge our student, we are hear to motive every child equally. We as educators provide the stairway for our students success!
