Abstract
In this study, an online learning program was developed to give teachers practical knowledge with regard to making media literacy lesson plans. This online learning program enables teachers to interact with experienced media teachers familiar with the theoretical background of media literacy who have made media literacy lesson plans and put them into practice. Ten participant teachers interacted with experienced media teachers through a video-conference system, weblog, and face-to-face meetings. The practical knowledge the teachers acquired regarding media literacy lesson plans was evaluated using qualitative data. On the basis of this evaluation, it was found that the participating teachers acquired knowledge of the unique perspective offered by the concept of media literacy, and of the types of risks involved in implementing media literacy lesson plans, and how to avoid them.
