Renee Hobbs and David Cooper Moore presented a session entitled, " Supporting Digital and Media Literacy in Urban Elementary Schools" at the Alliance for Community Media conference in Chicago on August 2, 2012.
Children’s voices are amplified through the process of learning to
access, analyze, compose, reflect and take action using the powerful
communication tools of digital media. This session offers a look at the
Powerful Voices for Kids program, a media literacy initiative that aims
to strengthen children’s ability to think for themselves, communicate
effectively, and use their powerful voices to contribute to the quality
of life in their families, their schools, their communities and the
world.
