DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-9667-9.ch014
Abstract
Forty-three states out of fifty states in the United States of America have adopted the Common Core State Standards in English language arts/literacy as a means of setting attainment levels of what students should know at different benchmarks during their schooling. The Common Core State Standards will be viewed through the lens of how they can be taught and learned by utilizing digital literacy media. This chapter will discuss how the goals of digital media literacy are aligned with the Common Core State Standards, how resources can be used to teach teachers and school district personnel about the Common Core State Standards, and finally how digital media can aid in helping students learn the standards and can aid in helping community members learn and then teach these standards. This chapter will conclude with questions and controversies about the Common Core State Standards and how media literacy education can alleviate many of the fears and challenges associated with the growing debate on this topic.

Media literacy education further expands the traditional understanding of literacy to all media, and it understands all media as parts of culture. Ever since the preoccupation with media literacy, educators call for a more substantial integration of media literacy education in school curricula worldwide.

Media Literacy and Framing of Media Content
It is suggested that media has positive and negative effects on children's physical, cognitive and social development. Research shows that the place of media in time and space is increasing, especially in children's lives. On the other hand, it is known that media messages have their own unique structure, language and applications and that they are constantly changing and developing. Individuals need to be familiar with media messages and methods in order to use these media more efficiently and to develop awareness of some risks that may be exposed to doing so. Therefore, this situation reveals the importance of educating children about the media and the education to be given must be constantly updated. These studies carried out in leading countries in the field are called “media literacy” education.
