Got Justice?

I'm not sure how many times I've heard my peers and colleagues question the applicability of social justice to the standards that they're going to teach. They never question the importance of social justice, they just can't seem to find where to fit it in. Well, being familiar with digital media is one of the standards, and this digital media is rife with social justice issues. From immigration and immersion to youth violence and discrimination, Media That Matters has no trouble providing what their name proclaims. The films are short and well made which makes keeping your classes attention during the screening a simple task. And once you've grabbed their attention the topics are provocative and controversial enough to get even the quietest group of teens voicing their opinions. Media That Matters is a must see for everyone with an ear to the ground for social justice.
