In January 2021, SCETV Education began a media literacy professional learning cohort funded by PBS grant money. Participating educators learned a variety of ways to teach their students how to think critically about their roles as media consumers and creators.
They also earned credits toward the PBS Media Literacy Educator Certification by KQED and three participants have completed their certification requirements.
The cohort facilitator, Tamara Cox, librarian and media specialist at Wren High School in Anderson School District One, says teaching media literacy skills to students is important because there are “so many choices and you have information flying at you from all directions - social media, newspapers, videos, YouTube, everything online. It’s important for our students to be able to have the skills to navigate through these difficult media waters where you can’t just trust everything that you see, or read, or hear about online.”

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) â A judge has dismissed a former teacherâs lawsuit against Horry County Schools, where she alleged exposure to mold while at school led to numerous health issues.
Mary Burroughs filed the suit last December and named St. James Elementary School, Seaside Elementary School, Lakewood Elementary School, Socastee Middle School and the district as a whole as defendants.

She alleged that the exposure led to severe headaches, short-term memory loss, a lack of energy, watery eyes, dizziness, congestion in her nose and throat, and nerve issues in her hands and finger. A medical and allergy test revealed exposure to mold, according to the suit.
