What is Media Literacy?  It's an important set of skills that allow us to safely navigate our use of all forms of media, especially social media. These skills include Access, Analyze, Evaluate, Create, and Act. When we're media literate, we're able to apply all of these skills in order to safely and effectively use digital media.  This year, Media Literacy Week will be celebrated from Oct. 26-30. U.S. Media Literacy Week is the celebration of Media Literacy across the United States, held in conjunction with UNESCO’s Global Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Week.  Check out this website to learn more about media literacy:  Media Literacy Week Skills
