Lessons Learned from the Literature

  • Expected to find research and other articles about media specialists' involvement in media literacy.
  • Identified an apparent gap in research, with very little about specific media literacy activities as part of school library media programs.
  • Tried to fill in the "edges" around this topic with case studies in which teachers taught media literacy in their classrooms.
  • Did find opinion pieces and practitioner how-to's about media specialists and media literacy, as well as general articles from a variety of sources to get a good overview of the field.
