The Educational Media Center (EMC) provides visual and audio media such as videos and CDs for teachers to use in their instructional program
It is a center of recreational, viewing, and listening and it is a stepping stone to other community resource centers
Meets the needs of students to be wise consumers of media, managers of information and responsible producers of their ideas using the powerful multimedia tools of a global media culture.
. Engages students. . . bringing the world of media into the classroom connects learning with "real life" and validates their media culture as a rich environment for learning.
Gives students and teachers alike a common approach to critical thinking that, when internalized, becomes second nature for life.
. Provides an opportunity for integrating all subject areas and creating a common vocabulary that applies across all disciplines.
Media literacy's "inquiry process" transforms teaching and frees the teacher to learn along with students -- becoming a "guide on the side" rather than a "sage on the stage."
