This book provides a practical and theoretical look at how media
education can make learning and teaching more meaningful and
transformative. This second edition includes more resources,
photographs, and updated information as well as two new chapters:
one exploring the pedagogical potential for using photography in
the classroom and the other documenting a successful university
course on critical media literacy for new teachers. The book
explores the theoretical underpinnings of critical media literacy
and analyzes a case study involving an elementary school that
received a federal grant to integrate media literacy and the arts
into the curriculum. Combining cultural studies with critical
pedagogy, critical media literacy aims to expand the notion of
literacy to include different forms of mass communication,
information communication technologies, and popular culture, as
well as deepen the potential of education to critically analyze
relationships between media and audiences, information, and power.
This book is a valuable addition to any education course or teacher
preparation program that wants to promote twenty-first century
literacy skills, social justice, civic participation, media
education, or critical uses of technology. Communications classes
will also find it useful as it explores and applies key concepts of
cultural studies and media education.
