teachers to use." teacher, from North Carolina (via email)
I am proud
that the Media Literacy Clearinghouse has received international recognition:
"The Media Literacy
Clearinghouse serves as the 'hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy' of resources
related to the
information-seeking behaviors and online communities of today's youth. I
constantly refer my graduate
students to Frank's comprehensive collection of sources."

"Your site is
consistently described by our students as being easy to navigate and a rich
resource offering teachers numerous approaches to media literacy across a range
of media
and through an interdisciplinary approach. If there is such a thing as one
stop shopping
when it comes to getting a comprehensive and current sense of the state of media
literacy,
your website has achieved that distinction." Dr. David Considine,

"Your website on To
Kill a Mockingbird is truly one of the best
resources I know online or in print for teaching the movie. It provides
an appealing format for exploring the elements of filmmaking, adaptation,
and critical analysis supported by provocative questions, clear explanations,
attractive film stills, and authoritative citations. Anyone interested in
learning
more about the film or media literacy will find a valuable tool in this handy
study guide."
