Our project team has worked with public library staff from a variety of districts to create a usable, accessible and interesting toolkit on media literacy and news media literacy. The materials are aimed at middle school users, ages 11-14, but many of the online games, videos and program ideas are suitable for ages 10 and older.

In this media and news literacy toolkit, you’ll find ready-made worksheets, programming ideas, do-it-yourself escape kits and extension activities. They are based on the hugely successful two-year run of the Wonder Media interactive exhibition at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum. The exhibition is a joint project of two regional institutions of higher learning, Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College, and the learning continues with this customized library extension of the exhibition.

We are available for questions, concerns and suggestions. Please feel free to contact the project team by using the contact link on this website. Enjoy!
