Abstract: This pre-conference session offers an experiential and exploratory look at making global connections through the lens of media literacy education using mobile technologies. Participants will be provided with background knowledge on global media literacy, develop a clear understanding of the connections to the common core standards as well as other national and international standards and frameworks, understand the uses and tools available for making the world an open doorway to their classroom, and finally be able to articulate Global Media Literacy Education for integration for their own individualized classrooms.
