Family Viewing Guidelines
-Media Literacy Workshops

Daniels Cablevision is committed to assisting parents to better monitor their children's television viewing habits. We also are committed to helping educators teach media literacy to their students.

We are pleased to present Taking Charge of Your TV workshops for parent, church and educator groups, or any group interested in learning how to better monitor their children's television viewing habits. Using video clips and free workbooks, participants discuss media literacy with one another. Presenters do not tell parents what their children should or should not watch. Instead, parents are encouraged to think about what television viewing guidelines are appropriate for their households.

We also work with The Discovery Channel to present Know TV, a media literacy program for teachers. The three-to four-hour program is taught by educators on contract with The Discovery Channel. Schools throughout the country have used Know TV for teacher in-service days. All costs are covered by The Discovery Channel and Daniels Cablevision.

The Family Channel also offers an excellent media literacy program titled, Make Educated Decisions in the Information Age, or M.E.D.I.A. The workbooks can be downloaded from The Family Channel website.
