AML in Edutopia

February 1, 2008

The George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF) was founded in 1991 as a nonprofit operating foundation to celebrate and encourage innovation in schools. Since that time, through their website and publication Edutopia, they have been documenting, disseminating, and advocating for exemplary programs in K-12 public schools.

The February issue includes the feature "As the World Learns" where innovative programs from around the world are profiled--including Media Literacy in Ontario.

"The advertisers aren't evil. They are just doing their job, which is to sell a product.  But the consequences, usually unintended, are often destructive to individuals, to cultures, and to the planet."  - Jean Kilbourne
