Publisher's Synopsis
This book is concerned with classroom practice in media education. While media education in Britain has a long history, stretching back over fifty years, and while it is currently expanding at a remarkable rate, there have been very few attempts to describe or analyze what it looks like in practice.;Most books and courses on media education tend to start from the opposite position, and to move from "theory" to "practice". The aim is generally to make accessible a body of academic knowledge about the media, and then to suggest how this might be translated into practical teaching strategies.
