I met Liz Thoman over the phone during my first year of teaching in 1995. I was trying to redesign a course that I inherited. To be honest, I don’t know where I heard of the Center for Media Literacy, but I managed to stumble upon it. I made my phone call, and was connected directly to Liz’ extension. Liz was gracious enough to spend about an hour on the phone helping me to create what would be the beginning of a vital media literacy course at my school. To this day, the foundational knowledge that she provided has influenced my classroom practice as well as my professional pathway in media and digital literacy.
I remember John from some of the first media literacy conferences. Always a gentle smile on his face. He was so influential on media literacy in Canada and in the U.S.A. as well.
