Future Plans

New Media is…

Help! We need a media mentor!

A media mentor:

• supports children & their

families in their media decisions & practice around media use.

• has access to and shares

recommendations for and research on children’s media use.

WHAT IS MEDIA MENTORSHIP?

• Interpret & share current research about digital media & kids
• Design & implement innovative programs for kids, teens & families

with all forms of media that support Joint Media Engagement

• Curate high quality media of all kinds
• Provide families supported, mediated access to traditional and new

media

• Evaluate all kinds of media for kids & teens
