Thank you for joining us this #MediaLitWk! We hope you had fun learning how to be responsible digital citizens. Don't forget, you can check out all our work on media literacy anytime at cmac.tv/medialiteracy.

As #MediaLitWk comes to an end () let's recap what we've learned! #medialiteracy is defined as the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, CREATE, and ACT in all forms of media communication. It's important to: - pay attention to where and how you ACCESS information - ANALYZE the media messages you interact with... - EVALUATE those media messages (keeping in mind how they impact you and your community) - CREATE accurate media content - ACT responsibly and empower others to do the same What was your biggest take away from this week? We'd love to hear from you! Let us know in the comments! #communitymedia #shareyourstories
