Schools must prepare 21st century students to compete in a global society a world in which cultures, economies, and people are continuously connected. It is the job of the 21st century educator to equip students to meet this challenge.

Explore the relationship between traditional literacy and the new literacies 3. Support educators in cultivating the new literacies among students 4. Teach educators how to lead the integration of new literacies 5. Inform policymakers and other decision makers on the impact of the transition from traditional to modern learning environments Mastering Media Literacy shows educators the role media can play in merging technology and instruction to give students greater access to knowledge, make learning more meaningful, and help students play a more active role in their education.
