Think Critically, Act Ethically

Last week (November 3-7) was National Media Education Week in Canada. The Media Awareness Network, who organized it, posted this video to help publicize it:
Here are some excerpts from their website:
Media education is the process through which individuals become media literate – able to critically understand the nature, techniques and impacts of media messages and productions.
In the digital age, the principles of media education are the same as they’ve always been, but the existence of cyberspace is adding new and challenging questions. How, for instance, does technology affect how we relate to others? Is new technology enriching or undermining culture, learning and a sense of community? What roles do ownership, control and access play? What are the challenges in regulating a global, borderless medium like the Internet?
Interesting things to think about.
