With the large volume of materials available online, learning how to assess and validate resources from reliable sources becomes an important 21st century school for both educators and students. This seminar examines media literacy, what it means and ways to develop your skills in selecting resources based on categories of authorship, currency, timeliness, organizational focus, and more.
