Rene of Luxomedia and Irene McGee of No One’s Listening recently collaborated on an interview with Elana Rosen of Just Think. Just think is an organization with three missions: to teach youth to deconstruct media messages, to analyze media representations of social issues such as racism, violence, and roll models, and to produce original and meaningful messages of their own. Students often work collaboratively to produce videos such as in this short, “Souls.”
Elana herself has an impressive resume; she has had 20 years experience in media and education, is the Executive Director, Co-Founder, and Board Chair of Just Think, and is also one of the 13 founding board members of the first National media education membership organization, Alliance for a Media Literate America (AMLA).
Just Think teaches in-school and after-school classes to youth in two locations in the San Francisco Bay area, and offers media literacy curricula to purchase online. For the vlog world, this will mean that we have that many more media literate minds out there, and I hope to see future vlogs as a result! Please be sure to check out their website, then pop on over to visit Luxomedia and No One’s Listening.
