Our Spring 24′ Wednesday Webinar series was dedicated to Teacher Education in Digital Media Literacy and organised as part of the TeaMLit project (providing guidance, resources and support for teacher trainers in Europe) and followed up the sessions which took place in Autumn ’23. These events focused on the experiences of media literacy practionners and experts and provided opportunities to share best practices, knowledge and quality resources.
In this sixth and final episode of our Teacher Education series, we explored the TeaMLit online course: ”Make Education more Media Literate”. This course offers essential media literacy skills for educators of all backgrounds, enabling them to effectively integrate media literacy into their classrooms. We explored the three main focuses of online course and picked out some snippets from the modules such as ‘why media literacy matters’ and ‘effective implementation strategies.’

The training is designed for both novice and more experienced teachers. 5 Modules in total (30-45mins each) which will guide you through the landscape of media literacy and implement it in your classroom and school. You can earn two different certificates by enrolling in the TeaMLit online course. 💯
Designed for:
- Standalone use (in Teachable platform)
- Use in larger programmes
- With available texts and subtitling for local translation
Content
- Should be usable for pre-service and in-service teachers

3 main themes:
