Media Education





Mane is teaching Alla about media.


This is a young class who were very interested in media.





Satine, who Mane taught, is now teaching others about media. She said, "Socializing through media is important."

Alla was very interested in media. She asked a lot of questions and started helping us educate people. Alla said, " I can say that I now understand that media is very important for people to be informed."

School

Younger students were very interested

People in our school didn't know about media and we taught them about it.

We went into classrooms and taught about media. Here students had to write down one word that came to their mind when we talk about media.

Tatev

These are pictures from around our village. Tatev is a very beautiful place. Unfortunately, not many people are knowledgeable about media. We are going to educate them!







Media Literacy in Tatev

For our first meeting about media we each created a poster. In a few days, we are going to have a meeting in our school and educate them about media.


Lena's Poster


I made this poster in English and Armenian so that people who don't know English or Armenian can still gain knowledge from this poster.







I drew this picture of media as a person. It represents how everyone is connected by media.





I drew this picture of media as a tree being watered. The water represents the persons knowledge and opinions and how media grows because of people.




I drew this picture of a person who doesn't use media. Their tree is dried up becuase they are not increasing their knowledge.

Narine's Poster


I wanted this poster to be informative and to teach people about the mian types of media: Internet, Television, Magazines, Telephones, and Computers. The fire around the edges represents that at first media was a small flame but is now burning strong.


Mane's Poster


I wanted to teach people about the main types of media and their purposes.  I wrote about internet, films, magazines, books.
