Well my personal experience with media literacy really didn't begin until I came to college. I would say that the only thing I did was sometimes I would read the paper, but that was just because my dad always did that so I guess I thought I should too.
When I started my college classes was really when I started to pay more attention to what was going on in the world around me.
The one class however, that helped me most in learning how to read and become a critical reader of the media was Dr. Gades' class. I learned how to pick out important information and retain the meaning of what was being said.
From that class and now others as I am in the Journalism field of study I have come to enjoy learning and understanding about what is going on around me. But to say that I had a good background in Media literacy before I came to college would not be true, but I do think it is good that schools are doing that.
