Offering a new and thought-provoking look at media literacy
education, this book brings together a range of perspectives that
address the past, present, and future of media literacy, equity and
justice. Straddling media studies, literacy education, and social
justice education, this book comes at a time when the media's role
as well as our media intake and perceptions are being disrupted. As
a result, questions of censorship, free speech, accountability
abound, and nuance is often lost. This book is an antidote to the
challenges facing media literacy education: chapters offer a
careful examination of important and hot topics, including AI,
authenticity, representation, climate change, activism and more.
Addressing the continually evolving role of media and its impact on
our society and shared knowledge base, the volume is organized
around five themes: Misinformation and Disinformation; Media
Representation; Civic Media, Politics and Policy; Eco Media
Literacy; Education and Equity, Ethical Quandaries and Ideologies;
and Emerging Technologies. Ideal for courses on media literacy and
new literacies, this book furthers the conversation on the ways
literacy and social justice are connected to educational
communities in local and global contexts.
This book, part of the BEA Electronic Media Research Series, brings
together top scholars researching media literacy and lays out the
current state of the field in areas such as propaganda, news,
participatory culture, representation, education,
social/environmental justice, and civic engagement. The field of
media literacy continues to undergo changes and challenges as
audiences are reconceptualized and reconfigured, media industries
are transformed and replaced, and the production of media texts is
available to anyone with a smartphone. The book provides an
overview of these. It offers readers specific examples and
recommendations to help others as they develop their own teaching
and research agendas. Media Literacy in a Disruptive Media
Environment will be of great interest to scholars and graduate
students studying media literacy through the lens of broadcasting,
communication studies, media and cultural studies, film, and
digital media studies.

this one-stop resource for understanding more about media literacy
education across disciplines, cultures, and divides offers the
fresh outlook that is needed at this point in time. Globally, as
more and more states and countries call for media literacy
education more explicitly in their curriculum guidelines, educators
are being required to teach media literacy in both elementary and
secondary education contexts.

At the forefront in its field, this Handbook examines the
theoretical, conceptual, pedagogical and methodological development
of media literacy education and research around the world. Building
on traditional media literacy frameworks in critical analysis,
evaluation, and assessment, it incorporates new literacies emerging
around connective technologies, mobile platforms, and social
networks. A global perspective rather than a Western-centric point
of view is explicitly highlighted, with contributors from all
continents, to show the empirical research being done at the
intersection of media, education, and engagement in daily life.
Structured around five themes-Educational Interventions;
Safeguarding/Data and Online Privacy; Engagement in Civic Life;
Media, Creativity and Production; Digital Media Literacy-the volume
as a whole emphasizes the competencies needed to engage in
meaningful participation in digital culture.

This book details the project "Digital Citizenship Education for
Democratic Participation" involving approximately 400 pre-school
and primary school children, their families, teachers, and
community members in a Lisbon locality. The research presented aims
to answer the following question: To what extent can a local (and
replicable) digital media literacy program empower preschool and
primary-school-aged children to become active and effective
citizens in the digital era? Through this book, the authors share
the steps taken during the project, including the main difficulties
faced and the solutions found to overcome them as well as the
project’s sustainability.

It is imperative that the 21st century population develops media
literacy competence at several levels. Schools possess a crucial
role in achieving these competencies and as such, teachers need to
be equipped with effective methods and training. Promoting Global
Competencies Through Media Literacy is an advanced reference
publication featuring the latest scholarly research on
transdisciplinary and transformative assessment practices from
primary-level to university-level educational settings. Including
coverage on a broad range of topics such as digital storytelling,
virtual environment, and cross-cultural communication, this book is
ideally designed for academicians, researchers, and librarians
seeking current research on current trends in media literacy in
educational settings.
Mobile Learning through Digital Media Literacy proposes media
literacy education as a conceptual framework for bridging mobile
technologies in teaching and learning. As cell phones have become
more advanced and applications more innovative and fitting, candid
conversations are taking place as to how technology can be a
purposeful tool in the classroom. Mobile technology already
attracts students and encourages text-language development; yet its
accessibility affords the potential for more extended use, offering
enhancement and flexibility for instructional development. In light
of a shared vision of collaboration and growth developing globally
within educational circles, this book examines mobile learning as a
formal literacy, as a productivity environment for creative growth
in and out of the classroom, and as an advancement to social
learning through online networks. The book surveys media literacy
education-both within the classroom and its extended
implications-for concerns of civic participation and data privacy,
as more educators and policymakers internationally consider the
possibilities of connected classrooms and m-learning on a universal
scale.
Providing context, reflection points, and ready-to-use lesson
plans, this powerful book illuminates the intersections of social
justice and media literacy for educators, school and public
librarians, teachers of history and civics, information literacy
instructors, and community leaders. The corrosive effects of
today’s relentless tide of media are pernicious. We are
conditioned in many ways by our media environments to accept and
not question, making it crucial that young people master the skills
necessary to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media. De Abreu
and her fellow contributors propose that a key solution to our
society’s crisis of misinformation, misrepresentation, and
misunderstanding lies in melding social justice aims with media
literacy concepts and skills.
Though media literacy and information literacy are intertwined,
there are important differences; and there has never been a more
urgent need for an incisive examination of the crucial role
librarians and other educators can play in teaching the skills
necessary to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media. Media
literate youth and adults are better able to understand the complex
messages emanating from television, movies, radio, the internet,
news outlets, magazines, books, billboards, video games, music, and
all other forms of media. In this book, international expert De
Abreu melds advice from a diverse array of practitioners and
subject experts with her own research findings to examine how
consuming media and technology impacts the learning of K-12
students, tackling such paramount issues as fake news/alternative
facts; critical thinking digital literacy and digital citizenship;
social inclusion and equity; global interconnectivity; and social
justice and advocacy. Inside, readers will find a wealth of
intelligently crafted, ready-to-use lesson plans and activities
designed to help promote critical thinking skills for K-12
students, making this a perfect teaching resource for school and
public librarians, educators, and literacy instructors. Each group
of lesson plans is prefaced by a well-informed and insightful
discussion of the concept at hand along with guidance on how to
best use the lesson plans, which can be freely adapted to any
setting.
