Project Summary

With this project we aim to develop and implement innovative methods in learning and teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches, especially those delivering key competences and basic skills in media literacy education, language skills, and focusing on the use of ICT. We will improve the quality of the skills which are recognized as essential at European and national level, and raise awareness of their relevance at school and community level.
Education, including non-formal learning, is the most powerful vehicle to promote common values, social inclusion and improve social integration and social mobility. In a digital society, media literacy the topic on which the Project focuses on , as a combination of digital and cognitive skills, plays an important role to promote EU values and social inclusion . Project activities will be allow digital inclusion of students which will also prevent ; social and economic exclusion, unemployment and poverty. Citizens who are not media literate face multiple difficulties to function fully in a digital society and this affects their full and responsible online participation.
We live in a society that thrives on technology; it is pervasive throughout our daily lives. Everyone seems to have an iPod, cell phone, or laptop with them at all times. We have become a completely connected society with our Twitter, MySpace, Facebook….etc It is hard to argue that technology hasn’t improved our lives through medicine, communication, and entertainment
According to the searches ; children ages 8 to 18 now spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes per day with entertainment media outside of school.
The media can entertain and inform our children in positive ways. However, since most children aren’t taught to use media thoughtfully, many media messages contribute to public health issues .Censorship and limitation are not desirable responses to the concerns about the mass media and their effects on the children and adolescents .
We believe ‘that the best way to prevent this addiction is only possible with the children’s perception ‘ , should be taken into account in directing children’s media consumption.By helping our teens become media literate, we can help protect them from pressures from advertising and other media forms to smoke, drink, use drugs, have sex, or eat unhealthy foods. We also can help them build communication skills, encourage them to consider multiple interpretations of media messages, put portrayals of themselves and others in perspective, and improve media use habits, such as changing ritualistic viewing behaviors.
OBJECTIVES & RESULTS :
O: Learn to think critically
R: As children evaluate media, they decide whether the messages make sense, why certain information was included, what wasn’t included, and what the key ideas are. They learn to use examples to support their opinions. Then they can make up their own minds about the information based on knowledge they already have.

O:Become a smart consumer of products and information.
R: Becoming a media literate will help children learn how to determine whether something is credible. It will also help them determine the “persuasive intent” of advertising and resist the techniques marketers use to sell products

O : -Recognize point of view.
R : Every creator has a perspective. Identifying an author’s point of view helps children appreciate different perspectives. It also helps put information in the context of what they already know — or think they know.

O -Create media responsibly.
R: Recognizing your own point of view, saying what you want to say how you want to say it, and understanding that your messages have an impact is key to effective communication.

O :Identify the role of media on society :
R: Raised awareness regarding media usage , understand how media shapes society, and develop a critical approach towards media messages based on their own experiences,skills ,beliefes and values.

O: Understand the author’s goal.
R: What does the author want you to take away from a piece of media? Is it purely informative, is it trying to change your mind, or is it introducing you to new ideas you’ve never heard of? When children understand what type of influence something has, they can make informed choices.
Students will be working together in ongoing communication with peers from all partner schools via email, teleconferencing, eTwinning platform, project website. They will contribute to designing a project logo to be used by all schools in all forms of communication to reinforce the corporate image of the project, essential to the concept of international co-operation and fundamental to its successful outcome. They will produce photo exhibitions, mini films, presentations, e-newspaper ,photostories brochures, posters, photo collages, make interviews with famous people in their towns ,meet people from the local media ,transmit experiences.
