From its top-notch speakers and fascinating topics of discussion to studentsâ enthusiastic reception, Hebrew Academy High Schoolâs first-ever Media Literacy Week was a tremendous success.
âMedia literacy âis the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they re sendingâ, from traditional media, like newspapers and TV, to the media of today, which includes social media, memes, and viral videos,â said Head Librarian Zehava Cohn, who organized the event with librarian Andrea Whaba. âWe graduate students to whom we ve taught the fundamentals of Torah, math, science, history, and languages, but we also teach our students how to navigate the world in which they live. Media literacy is an important â I would say, crucial â aspect of this knowledge acquisition because our students are involved in, interacting with, and will inevitably work in a media-literate world.â
