Question 5: importance of media arts literacy, critical pedagogy

5)
Media arts literacy is the ability for a person to create and respond to media in a variety of modes, formats, and genres. A media literate person will be able to analyze and create messages using various media sources available in our 21st century world.
Much of our communication increasingly incorporates technological media resources such as webpages, apps, social media forums, etc. It is really important to be media literate in order to be able to stay informed but also have an equal voice in this rapidly changing global community we are inextricably linked to.

Critical pedagogy is designed to help students to learn to question theories or practices that currently dominate schools of thought, methods of practice in our world at large, but especially or schools.

This is an important skill to develop, as it creates diversity of thought in a classroom and innovation, as new skills or ways of thinking may be employed to solve a problem or discuss a subject. It creates a space for students and teachers to become informed leaders in their own lives rather than blind followers of that which is generally accepted on the principles that it is simply been previously established as a way of approaching something.
