Media Awareness Network
Site dedicated to promoting critical thinking in young people about the media. Contains media education and information literacy resources for teachers, parents, librarians and researchers. Teacher resources include a searchable lesson library as well as educational games (with materials to support use in the classroom) on evaluating internet sites, alcohol advertising, privacy and stereotyping. While this is a Canadian based site the materials are useful for teachers worldwide but as a bonus for Canadian teachers it contains mappings to expectations by province.

The materials on this site are great - click on the \"for teachers\" link and you can find tons of lessons to teachers about body image, consumerism, gender, diversity, popular culture, etc. all the way from early elementary up to senior high school. For many of the lessons students don\'t need access to a computer (which is always a challenge) and they are free.
