DPCCP 1 Happy Harbor (Comics)

Sunday June 2, 2019 - 11:30 am to 12:20 pm


The media we consume profoundly affects the way we see the world and others. This is especially true of kids, who are exposed to on average 3,000-6,000 ads per day. From commercials to build boards to the pervasiveness of so-called fake news, how can we teach the next generation of students how to navigate this media-saturated world? In this panel, educators and creators will share advice and resources on how comics can support media literacy and positively shape the way students see the world.
