Organizational Member: Project Look Sharp
Project Look Sharp is a media literacy initiative at Ithaca College. We support the integration of media literacy into classroom curricula at all grade levels and instructional areas. Our curriculum-driven approach works directly with K-12 teachers and support staff through workshops and presentations, while at the college level we provide support to teacher education programs and faculty in a range of other fields.
To support the integration of media literacy into classroom instruction, we have developed a wide range of curriculum kits and lessons that teach core content through classroom-based interactive media decoding. All kits and lessons are available free online for use by educators, and include media documents, teacher guides, student handouts, and background material; many kits include assessments. Most kis are targeted for middle school through college-level courses. Please visit
