The Manitoba Association for Media Literacy (MAML) has been active since its inception in 1990. At its peak, it had a membership of about 60 Manitoba teachers, but interest has decreased dramatically over the last few years.
To accomplish its goals, MAML sponsors presentations and workshops for educators, parents and members of the public at large; assists in the development of media literacy programs for Manitoba schools; provides in-service opportunities for Manitoba teachers; and publishes Directions, a quarterly newsletter.
MAML president Brian Murphy notes an increase in inquiries from teachers, beginning in 1998. He attributes this to the many media education references in the new English Language Arts curriculum, and predicts interest in media education will increase.
