E. Media & Technology Content Standard
Students in Wisconsin will use media and technology critically and
creatively to obtain, organize, prepare and share information; to influence and persuade;
and to entertain and be entertained
Rationale: In a technological world in which thought is
increasingly dominated by media, such as newspapers, magazines, radio, tv, movies,
computer software, and electronic networks, students need to understand the impact of
media on daily life. To use media effectively, students must be able to evaluate
information and match the information with the appropriate medium for a specific audience.
In order to do this, they must recognize how communication changes from one medium to
another.

aimed at teenagers
