Eight? Why eight?

Have you ever wondered why they write books about 101 solutions to lives problems? Or 1001 ways to skin a cat? It sells books. I suspect the eight guidelines is also arbitrary!

Anyhow, read this article "Media Literacy: Eight Guidelines for Teachers" (http://www.ohea.org/GD/Templates/Pages/OEA/OEADetail.aspx?Page=3&TopicRelationID=108&Content=15439). Then write your third blog about what you discovered, what you learned, your reflection or reaction, how you will use this information to improve your teaching skills and enhance the students learning abilities.

What ever happened to the Fahrenheit 451 theory?
