The National Academies is seeking nominations of experts to serve on a 6-8 member planning committee for a 2-day public workshop focused on how to support the development of media literacy for children and youth in the context of a complex information ecosystem. The workshop will explore key issues such as:
• What do we know about how and where children and youth get their information and how they navigate online environments? How can and should this inform the design of media literacy programs (both in school and out-of-school)?
• What is the current status of media literacy instruction and programs? How widespread are they? What are the goals of media literacy programs and interventions?
• What is known about which approaches or strategies for supporting development of media literacy are most effective? What are the most promising programs and program models in both formal and out-of-school settings?
• How can media literacy be integrated effectively across content areas?
