  • Hello from the field
  • Good morning.
  • Hi from sunny Long Island
  • Hello Everyone!
  • Good morning!
  • Good morning from Pearl River!
  • Hello from Yorktown, NY @ PNW BOCES.
  • Hi everyone
  • Good morning, looking forward to it!
  • Good Morning Everyone!
  • Morning all, love seeing so many great librarians again!
  • Good Morning from New Paltz!
  • Good morning everyone!
  • Greetings!
  • Good morning!
  • I'm looking forward to really delving into Project Look Sharp. I've been playing with it, but never had the time to really dig into all the possibilities there.
  • Idea for updating some media literacy lessons...scaffolding from MS to HS.
  • We'd like concrete takeaways from today!
  • We mised the first few minutes
  • Good Morning!
  • Why? Kids and creating safe spaces.
  • You need to repeat those instructions
  • Hi! Can you please share the url for the presentation so I can find the reading?
  • g
  • All of this is so overwhelming.
  • Although published in 2020, this article seems outdated. It makes references to 2012, 2016, 2017, 2019...
  • Good morning from Nassau BOCES!
  • Slides with reading: tinyurl.com/whatandwhyML
  • Good morning, all! Glad to be here.
  • Our group is talking about how AI will change everything
  • "Flood of Information" confirms the need for media literacy. It also builds a case for AI.
  • Our group talked about how the flood of information encompasses far more than 'traditional media' (advertisements, Youtube, etc.)
  • Today's news regarding AI and its threats adds so much weight to this conversation. How do we begin to incorporate that platform into what we teach?
  • We made connections to Feed by M.T. Anderson and how the themes within that text are very relevant to today.
  • We talked about how traditional media is only a tiny percentage of the media flooding our students.
  • During our saturation experiences, what cognitive/emotional components of this process make some information stick, others not, and what are the implications for teaching and learning...
  • Test message
  • The article doesn't include information spread through other popular social media such as YouTube channels, tiktok, and so many apps. The film and radio information is very small in comparison.
  • People at my table are saying Google as a search engine is actually less helpful than it used to be because the top results are so skewed by "Sponsored" results, no more Boolean prompts and because there is so much more information for the algorithms to sort. through. Your thoughts?
  • Feel free to add your guesses here, too!
  • Test
  • 1973
  • Our group seems almost evenly split among all the decades!
  • Thank you for your thoughtful reflections so far! These are important implications and questions you all are raising regarding AI, algorithms, the types of media we (and our students) encounter and the psychology of making media interesting, clickable/shareable, etc…
  • N:early all decades guesses were tied to historical events
  • Carol, it’s an older book but I really enjoyed “Engaging the Rewired Brain” by Dr. David Sousa https://www.learningsciences.com/blog/book-preview-engaging-the-rewired-brain/
  • it would be super helpful if the slide/prompt could be kept up during the count down - we have 70 people and people aren’t noticing there’s a task and keeping up with the slides when there’s a countdown
  • Michael, can do for the next one!
  • Thank you!!
  • I think it would be interesting to investigate when the term "media literacy" was first coined to when it started being more commonly used.
  • How do we not really know the definition of media.
  • Cave Etchings, Pony Express...
  • smoke signals to go super far back... media is a communication to the masses
  • What ISN'T media?
  • Cave etchings, Pony Express...
  • What ISN'T media??
  • Media- Podcasts and AR
  • SLS Directors - please photo document your site attendance to Tweet or post on SLSA webpage for today's event. Ty
  • A diary isn't media...
  • Chris Sperry gets all the credit for the definition of media we're using with elementary students.
  • I am wondering if we should also consider Marshall Macluhan said "medium is the message."
  • Media Literacy is to be well rounded in the use of different tools such as video, podcasts, tapes, tv, recordings, books, magazines, newsletters and newspapers, and all multiple formats of information sharing.
  • So important for our students to understand how Media Literacy affects their everyday life from fashion to reading to news to advertising.
  • menti.com 27734257
  • We should ask who is behind the message and in turn what the purpose of the media is?
  • media - influences us with the biases of the outlet that i creating it
  • where can I find curriculum for different grade levels specifically 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade?
  • Where would algorithms fit in and other information filters? Artificial impacts to our access.
  • Where do you get your slides and fonts? They are both appealing and engaging.
  • librarians have always taught analysis,evaluation skills
  • As librarians, we teach all of these literacies. They overlap in one form or another.
  • We teach students how to find and evaluate information and then we teacher them how to paraphrase, take direct quotes, cite those sources. We teach them that they need to back up their statement with evidence.
  • Jamboard: https://jamboard.google.com/d/1EcMunJM5LohiVXmUL5QcSIMgbdX3fsn6qKXbWaxPBPo
  • Librarians use information fluency to instruct students.
  • Is there a way to read responses from question/statement postings on backchannel?
  • With the increased inability for students to read and their reliance on social media video for information? How do we educate our students to assess that content without the ability to read text?
  • Reserch skills and knowing what is a valid resource
  • Like all Literacy, you must use critical thinking to evaluate texts.
  • Media Literacy includes an awareness of the "source"!
  • FYI Nikki - Jamboard link is asking for a login
  • Media literacy is literacy, in many different forms.
  • It seems that all of the different literacies, e.g., digital literacy, info literacy, news literacy, could fall under the "media literacy" umbrella
  • Jamboards have a max of 30ish people
  • You were amazing! Thank you so much!
  • It was a great session - thanks!
  • As librarians, our roles have become more of a facilitator one. Besides exposing our students to multiple formats, we also guide them to check for the validity of information.
  • You too. Thank you.
  • I teach "library skills class" scheduled for MS. Does the state requirement say anything about what this instruction has to be called? Does anyone teach a "media literacy" course to meet the grades 7/8 requirement?
  • Thank you, Nicki! Great!
  • @Melissa - I used PPTMon (https://pptmon.com/) for this particular presentation! I also like SlidesGo, Slides Carnival, and Canva.
  • Thank you all for being such active and engaged participants. It was a pleasure being with all of you this morning!
  • If you were prompted for a login, please try this Jamboard link instead: https://jamboard.google.com/d/1EcMunJM5LohiVXmUL5QcSIMgbdX3fsn6qKXbWaxPBPo
  • Which of the links in the Google folder corresponds to this presentation?
  • Not just librarians at Nassau BOCES today
  • without media literacy we are not critically thinking about the information we consume and therefore, we could be making very bad decisions and perpetuate mis and dis information.
  • Faith, will you show the URL for your google slide deck again?
  • Is there a bitly for the presentation?
  • Why read books because fiction books can provide you ways to work through you issues and situations SEL.
  • All presentations are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VfCqkZJoDuGK09KKSYik9yqHTSQosraQ?usp=sharing
  • We read books to gain knowledge of the world around us and for enjoyment
  • How do you teach media literacy without fear while still teaching them to be skeptical?
  • I heard/read somewhere (News Literacy Project?) teach skepticism, not cynicism
  • Sarah-also wondering that!
  • Now AI generates media too.
  • Key Categories of Media Literacy Analysis & Sample Questions... https://projectlooksharp.org/Resources%202/KeyQsecehandout.pdf
  • I love the subversiveness of approachign media literacy instruction through joy/wonder, to combat the fear-mongering approach of many people seeking to limit information and ban books. Very thought-provoking!
  • We discussed having elementary students recreate the seasons posters; could be tied into having students research countries around the world and the choices that people from other countries might have when creating a seasons poster.
  • like the child-centered positive approach suggested here
  • I used the "Save the Endangered Tree Octopus" with my sixth graders and the spaghetti tree harvesting commercial on YouTube to help introduce the skepticism vs cynicism.
  • As adults, how do we know if we are media literate? How do we show teachers/admin if they are media literate, or not? Thinking about how to get collaborating teachers to "buy in" that this learning is necessary.
  • Noone enforces the mandate for secondary schools having anLMS
  • @Jane I came to say the same thing.
  • At the NYSUT RA a few years ago, our state union voted unanimously to put legislation forward to require a certified library media specialist in every building. I hope these bills are being worked together with our state union.
  • Why would he separate the LMS requirement from the DASA update, especially if media literacy is included?
  • This was good to know. Was unaware.
  • There is also a newish Librarian subject area committee at NYSUT. NYSUT and NYLA should be working together for legislation.
  • Conversations around putting forth what we can bring to the table with our teachers here at the end of the year, so that teachers can think of ways to incorporate us when they do their summer planning as opposed to waiting until the beginning of the school year.
  • One of my librarians pointed out that the push to have a certified librarian in every building has been going on for at least 25 years. With no progress.
  • ahhh, so you CAN judge a book by its cover!
  • Bridget, can you share the standards with us?
  • Can you share these curriculum frameworks and google forms with us?
  • Thank you, Bridget!
  • What tools did you use for mapping? Was that a Google Form?
  • That was much more informative thank you! I think people really need more of the "how" to do this than what it is!
  • Did you use the NYC Information Literacy Continuum standards at all for the media literacy?
  • totally on another note - love the design of your presentation - what did you do it with?
  • Is the Google form being used to advocate for media literacy collaboration with classroom teachers or is it being used to map out where media literacy lessons are needed?
  • Do you find that the mapping helps build collaborative relationships with teachers?
  • Bridget, are you willing to share the Google Form you created and can we use it/modify it with our teachers?
  • Bridget, Would you be will to share the CSDF google form as well as links to the other docs you used to create the meaningful curriculum work. Thank you.
  • Thank you for all of that. I'm curious to know what BIPoC librarians think of Project Looksharp curriculum. The video seemed to highlight 95% white-looking school librarians and I can't help but wonder if the curriculum has some blind spots that this is indicative of.
  • How receptive are/were your teachers to Media Literacy?
  • I love that I easily created a Project Look Smart account and found the lessons talked about. I think this is great! We can use it right away!
  • Some of my favorite Project Look Sharp lessons for the littles are handwashing and families. They are a great place to start.
  • Do you incorporate a read aloud into these lessons or are these stand alone
  • we lost sound
  • Crosswalk ESIFC, AASL and ISTE Assessment Standards. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://slsa-nys.libguides.com/ld.php?content_id=63793682
  • Very often these lessons a quick hook before the read aloud or other lesson.
  • What does it mean 'does it follow the rules?' on the Instagram posts
  • Great advice to start small, and incorporate the practice of having students ask questions about what is around them. Encourage parents to do this as well!
  • Thank you, Paula. The start small and don't get overwhelmed advice is really useful. I am making a note to myself to print out and have handy the categories and sample questions for media decoding handout. Appreciated!
  • Are the PLS lessons being updated and/or culled or changed as time passes?
  • PLS is regularly updated.
  • Jessica, I know that in NY and beyond, there is a push to attract more BIPOC librarians to the field. I think you make an good point, but I do hope that the CMD pedagogy is open enough to be applied to all types of media, and can be used and customized by almost anyone.
  • What is the best way to get in touch with Project Look Sharp if we have more questions?
  • Please take a few moments to complete the evaluation for this workshop. Note- we are also asking for ideas/suggestions for a statewide PD for next year. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6_TmcUR00zbwn3-eIglaWA-WRQMormLEiOiscwmuW2SJjDw/viewform
  • Are you actually showing us these features because your website presentation isn't showing it?
  • How do you become a ML3 Certified Librarian? I don't see anything on Project Look Sharp website, only info on the pilot program/initial group.
  • Who (if anyone) is enforcing the NYS mandate of a certified LMS at the secondary level?
  • Hi Amanda! I would recommend you apply to take the online CMD course from Project Look Sharp this summer if you are available. It is called Empowering All Students Through Media Decoding. To apply, send a email to projectlooksharp@ithaca.edu.
  • @ Amanda- the person to contact is Chris Sperry. His email is csperry@ithaca.edu
  • For the NYS Mandate- I would encourage you to reach out to your local SLS Director.
  • You can also send an email to email to projectlooksharp@ithaca.edu which is checked by Chris and others at PLS.
  • Question: Are the PLS lessons being updated and/or culled or changed as time passes? Posted by Melissa, 05/17/2023 6:02 pm ------------------------------------------ Hi, Melissa! I work for Project Look Sharp. I know that they do review the lessons frequently and this is a topic that we discuss a lot.
  • Thank you - this was great!
