Reading and Discussion #6 Media Messages


"When digital and media literacy educators begin to see themselves as a learning community, it becomes obvious that there is a set of shared ideas that unified their interests in teaching, and learning" (Hobbs, 55).

To me, the above quote means that when teachers realize that as a whole they are, together with their students, a learning community, then the students will benefit from all of their teaching and knowledge in relation to technology and media literacy. 
In other words, "it takes a village to raise a child." 

1. Who is the author and what is the purpose? 

The author is global giving.org; and Secret deodorant;  the purpose of the message is to "take out" bullying. 

2. What creative techniques are used to attract and hold attention? 

Bright colors are used and the illusion of graffiti on a wall. 

3. How might different people understand this message? 

This message could also be understood as a message against discrimination. I think the interpretation of the message would depend on the race of person viewing it. 

4. What lifestyles, values, and points of view are represented? 

The point of view that is represented is first person. Values represented are that being mean is bad. 

5. What is omitted? 

Nothing is omitted in this particular message.
