Many schools and education systems have made media literacy a part of their curriculum. Though it’s often not that well-known by teachers and staff.

As said in the video, media literacy can be addressed in various ways across various subjects. It can be a subject on its own or embedded in a transversal way throughout the curriculum.

In the previous module, we also mentioned the DigCompEDU model, composed by the European Commission. There is also an expectation on a European level to work on media literacy with students and to be a media literate teacher.
