2017 Media Literacy Week Study at Guiteras School Library: Animated GIFs
"Media Literacy is the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, COMMUNICATE and CREATE using all forms of communication. The mission of Media Literacy Week is to highlight the power of media literacy education and its essential role in education today."
After we have had a chance to make some animated GIFs, we will analyze them and create a list of criteria for the next round of animated GIFs that we make.
