Children growing up in the 21st century need to understand the full
range of media available to them, both as sources of information and
entertainment, and as a means of communicating and sharing ideas.
Embedded in the primary curriculum, media education enables children
to become more fully literate for the digital age. Grounded in best
classroom practice, this book aims to help you think about the role of
media in children′s lives, and to teach about media effectively in
your classroom. Three dimensions of media education for the 3-11 age
range are highlighted : children′s own cultural experiences, the
development of critical awareness, and opportunities for creative
expression. The chapters are written by literacy advisors, leading
academics, teacher-trainers and classroom practitioners. Topics
covered include: - understanding children′s relationships with media
and how to build on these constructively - getting to grips with
"multimodality" - developing children′s critical skills through
watching and analysing moving image media - broadening children′s
experiences of different kinds of media and their media literacy -
creative media activities that promote imaginative thinking and
decision-making - the importance of social networking and social media
and how to use these in the classroom In an increasingly digital
world, media education is an essential part of good teaching, not just
as a tool to teach the more traditional aspects of the curriculum, but
in its own right as an essential part of literacy. This book is
relevant to all teachers working in Primary schools, and will be
particularly helpful for Literacy Co-ordinators.
