NMMLP is excited to announce the launch of medialiteracytoolbox.com -- a new online resource for educators, media activists, media makers, parents and students.

You can use the new website to browse, purchase and download individual "media literacy kits" on a variety of topics.  The kits can be used in classrooms, community groups, and other group settings to teach basic media literacy concepts, to deconstruct media messages, and to understand current media issues.

Each downloadable media literacy kit contains:

- Media examples (TV commercials, magazine ads, scenes from Hollywood movies, websites, etc.) you can show to your class or group.

- A printable discussion and activity guide with questions and answers for each media example, as well as background information, education standards, and resources for further study.

- Suggestions on how to use media literacy kits with students, community groups and others.

- Complete instructions and tech support information.

www.medialiteracytoolbox.com

On medialiteracytoolbox.com, you can preview the media examples in each kit, and see sample pages of the discussion and activity guides.

Most kits can be used in a single class session or workshop, and they cost just $14.95. 

The new website also offers several free kits, including Media Literacy Concepts & Skills, Food Marketing & Nutrition, and Media Activism.

Several of the media literacy kits initially offered on the site are included on NMMLP's new Media Literacy Toolbox DVD-ROM.  But you can also download some brand-new kits, including Reality TV and Censorship, only available on medialiteracytoolbox.com.

We'll be creating and posting new media literacy kits on a regular basis.  To receive email notifications when new kits are available, special offers, tips on doing media literacy and more, just sign up to receive our Toolbox Alerts.

We've been working on the new website for several months, and we're thrilled to be able to offer new media literacy resources online.  Please browse the new website and let us know what you think by posting a comment in our Discussion Forum.  And if you like the site, please tell a friend about it!
