On this page we present a collection of resources for teachers, parents, students and anyone else interested in learning more about the vast world of media literacy, awareness and education. Immediately following this paragraph are two Canadian websites we feel offer a vast amount of information on this topic. Below that, we have categorized many other sites on the Internet that offer related information and resources. We encourage you to send us information on any related resources we may have missed. Finally, a “Thank You” to the pioneering Media Literacy Online Project at the University of Oregon for providing the foundation to this list.
Media Awareness Network: The Media Awareness Network is "home to one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of media literacy and digital literacy resources."

It has a huge collection of down-loadable resources, an updated list of events, current research and much more.
