MPT brings resources to enrich our lives
Visit Maryland Public Television (MPT) at the Power of Age Expo and learn more about how we enrich lives and strengthen communities through the power of media. Stop by our booth throughout the day to learn more about our community engagement initiatives, special events, and PBS programs such as Caregiving and Ken Burns’ American Revolution. Ask us how to participate in our ‘Letter to Future Generations’ project!
What’s more – MPT’s Maryland Center of Media Literacy and Education will be onsite to present important tools and resources that promote best practices when engaging with media. We encourage people to use our Media STEPs as a reminder:
• Speak to others if you’re unsure about something online,
• Think critically about media,
• Educate yourself about new platforms
and technologies, and
• Protect your personal information.
In a series of mini-workshops throughout the day, we’ll offer strategies for strengthening our critical muscles to better understand the media messages we receive. To learn more about MPT, visit their website at www.mpt.org.
