In this episode of Mediacy, we are talking about media literacy in the early years with Dr. Faith Rogow. Dr. Rogow is an independent scholar who has been a media literacy educator, innovator, and strategist since the 1980s. On today's show, we are talking with Dr. Rogow about her groundbreaking book Media Literacy for Young Children: Teaching Beyond the Screen Time Debates. Listen in for an engaging, insightful, and fun conversation!

Heidi Siwak and Margie Keats bring their classroom experiences with GenerativeAI Apps to Mediacy. What are the challenges? How might teachers meet those challenges? How might GenerativeAI support learning?

A panel of directors in the Association for Media Literacy will gather to chat about media topics of particular interest, what media approaches are somewhat misguided (hint: it's not all about "fake news"), and current events through a media literacy lens.

On the panel:

Neil Andersen
