Patty Ball's insight:

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills recognizes media literacy and includes it in every one of its subject-area curriculum skills maps. Recently, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards revised its ELA standards to include visual literacy.  And both the K-12 Horizon Report and the Future Workskills 2020 report recognize the new media age we’re in and urge more attention to digital media literacy.
