The mission of Project Look Sharp is to provide materials, training and support
for the effective integration of media literacy with critical thinking into classroom
curricula at all educational levels.
The daily demands of life in today's media-saturated world require that students
be aware of the influence of media on the political process and on the power dynamics
and social relations among the diverse populations that compose the global community.
The sheer volume and accessibility of available information demand that students
at all grade levels be able to filter that information effectively and use media
wisely - in other words, become media literate.
Media literacy is easily integrated into existing curricula at all grade levels
and is an effective tool for exploring approaches to education that are interdisciplinary
and recognize different learning styles. Media literacy encourages participatory
citizenship by helping students to appreciate multiple perspectives and to analyze
information for greater understanding.
