    About this ebook

    This handbook is for anyone interested in breaking away from the antiquated models of media literacy that are promoted in school curriculums everywhere. It attempts to flip the script by explaining that young people may have more to teach us about media literacy than we do them. Young people are hungry to explore, understand, and repurpose media to make it relevant to their lives and their understanding of the world. As parents, teachers, community workers, and allies, we need to change the way we approach media education by working with young people rather than talking at them.

    The first seven chapters lay out the need for a paradigm shift in media literacy and suggest an alternative approach. The next section provides twenty possible activities to facilitate students working together, where the development of student leadership and group cohesion are outcomes as important as the acquisition of key media skills. The final section suggests nine options for long-term culminating projects. Altogether, the handbook provides a complete orientation and practical program for anyone wishing to work with youth to achieve a more comprehensive, active, and socially responsible media literacy.

      Colin Scheyen presents a new paradigm for media literacy teachers. Most teachers use the producer/consumer paradigm. However, with social media, we are not only consumers, we are producers of media. He then gives sample projects for students and additional resources for teachers.

      This was an interesting read and, while i don’t entirely agree with everything said in it, as a teacher, I’m going to start introducing a lot more technology to my classroom. This book has given me several ideas about that and a good number of resources to track down even more informational uses/tactics for how to go about highlight and incoporating for higher minded and deeper interest learning.
