This paper is a report on a newly initiated project to examine how the concept of Critical Media Health Literacy functions in a high school curriculum. The population of focus is high school students in one school setting in Yangon, Myanmar. The school’s mission states that critical thinking strategies across subjects, the development of healthy lifestyles, and the role of technology in student learning are valued components of the curriculum. The purpose of this report is to discuss the newly initiated project from the perspectives of how Web 2.0 technologies are used in the curriculum process to support the participatory action research design, how social media will be used for engaging youth about the cultures of media and health, and the potential for partnering with other researchers in the field.
