Be it television, YouTube, or social media, students are consuming content at a blistering pace. By building awareness of the media they consume, and giving them an opportunity to create their own, we can celebrate their innate creativity and help them to interpret the messages they are receiving. Through a combination of information literacy and projects from the Jacob Burns Film Center's Image, Sound, and Story curriculum, students will develop the skills to choose a better digital experience for themselves.
