About this website
ecomedialiteracy.org offers free, open ecomedia literacy resources for educators, including:
- Lesson plans and learning activities
- Media examples for analysis
- Curated web links for ecomedia research
- Resources on the field of ecomedia studies
- Examples of student work
- Other teaching resources
The website is designed to be used by educators and librarians who teach about or promote research combining environmental studies with environmental humanities and ecomedia studies. It can also be used in teaching science and information literacy.
The climate emergency and the collapse of ecosystems around the world has sparked increasing concern and alarm, and many educators are seeking resources to help incorporate relevant content into their courses. ecomedialiteracy.org provides educators with a centralized location for research and resources about media, technology and the environment, and helps to “green” information literacy and digital literacy resources across institutions.
ecomedialiteracy.org is curated by Antonio López, PhD. With a research focus on bridging sustainability with media literacy, he is currently one of the top global experts in the field of ecomedia literacy. Learn more at antonio-lopez.com
