National Media Education Week: 3rd-7th November
Media literacy is an important component in the education of Brentwood students. Students should be aware of the media’s powerful influence, but also should be aware of the messages that they convey when creating their own digital media. Critical thinking and ethical evaluations will continue to be part of ongoing discussions about technology.
National Media Education Week is sponsored by the Media Awareness Network and the Canadian Teachers' Federation.
