Your contribution was spot on and made everyone think - as well as smile!</p>
<p>Just to assure you 'Learning and Teaching Scotland' is now listed on the updated signatories page of the Charter for Media Literacy at:</p>
<p>http://www.medialiteracy.org.uk/signatories/</p>
<p>It would be great if other readers here were also to consider signing the Charter, as the more - and the more varied - supporters it has the more effective its advocacy! Where one signs up there is also space for people to say a little about their own media literacy work.</p>Margaret commented on 'Media Literacy Summit, Channel 4'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e54fa1f37d88342007-11-26T23:17:45Z2007-11-26T23:17:45ZMargarethttp://www.justthink.orgAgain, great post.

<p>Many educators have had to individually integrate media literacy studies into their curriculum because school districts do not have a district-wide or even school-wide regulation, at least not in the U.S. But that's another story....</p>Ewan McIntosh commented on 'Media Literacy Summit, Channel 4'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e54f82b62688332007-11-14T07:38:02Z2007-11-14T07:38:02ZEwan McIntoshhttp://edu.blogs.comI'll quote you on that... ;-)<p>I'll quote you on that... ;-)</p>Joe Wilson commented on 'Media Literacy Summit, Channel 4'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e54f82558788332007-11-13T21:18:25Z2007-11-13T21:18:25ZJoe Wilsonhttp://www.sqa.org.ukWell said Ewan and we're already accepting blogs, contributions to online forums, work in e-portfolios and range of evidence of...<p>Well said Ewan and we're already accepting blogs, contributions to online forums, work in e-portfolios and range of evidence of learning but mainly from the College and workbased sectors.
