  • Objectives: Learners will create a log of media use, define key concepts (media, information, technology literacy, and media and information literacy), and compare these concepts to their own understanding.

  • Literacy: The ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, and compute using various materials. It fosters continuous learning, allowing individuals to achieve their goals and participate in the community.

  • Media: Physical objects used for communication, such as radio, computers, film, or other mediums.

  • Media Literacy: The ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create various media formats. This empowers citizens to effectively engage with both traditional forms and new technologies.

  • Information: Processed data, knowledge gained through study, experience, instruction, signals, or symbols.

  • Information Literacy: The skill to identify when information is needed and to effectively locate, evaluate, and communicate that information in different formats.

  • Industrial Age (1700s-1930s): Steam power, machine tools, and iron production led to printing presses that enabled mass production. Examples include printing presses, newspapers (e.g., London Gazette), typewriters, and the telephone.

  • Electronic Age (1930s-1980s): Transistors led to advancements in communication and computing, including transistor radios, television, computers (mainframe), and long-distance communication.

  • Information/Digital Age (1980s-2000s): The rise of the internet, personal computers, mobile devices, and wearable technology led to faster communication and social networking. Examples include internet browsers, social networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), and video platforms (e.g., YouTube).
