Media Literacy meets ISTE-NETS.

Standard 1
B.)"Promote, support, and model creative
and innovative thinking and inventiveness" Media literacy produce meanings, show how they organize and how to use them wisely. The main goal of media literacy curriculum must be to develop a literate person who is able to read, analyze, evaluate, and produce communications in a variety of media.
Standard 2
B.)"Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own
learning, and assessing their own progress" The cumulative impact of mass media is to unconsciously shape our visions of ourselves. In some ways, this is fine: we can learn from the media that our nation is strong and decent, that our political process is reliable, and that our technological acheivements are often remarkable. But in other ways, allowing the mass media to shape our images of ourselves is dangerous because the media must follow conventions that are often out-of-sync with real life. Therefore i do not believe that media literacy matches up well with this standard.
Standard 3
A.) "Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations" In media literacy one must be aware of the importance of managing one's media "diet". Where you must make choieces and reduce the time spent with television, videos, games, and various printed media forms. Although it can be a good way to ficilitate students, you cannot rely soly on media. You must transfer the knowledge to many other technologies and learning activities.
Standard 4

"Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources" In media literacy, each source is appropriately documented.

Standard 5

Media literacy seeks to empower citizens and to transform their passive relationship to media into an active, critical engagement it is capable of challenging the traditions and structures of a privatized, commercial media culture, and finding new avenues of citizen speech and in writing. Citizens can communicate verbally, and exchange each others views. By doing this each citizen can become more aware of their surroundings and communicate better with other people.
