The Teacher's Guide to Media Literacy: Critical Thinking in a Multimedia World b

The Nile on eBay   The Teacher's Guide to Media Literacy by Faith Rogow, Cynthia L. Scheibe

This book is about what it means to be literate in today's complicated media environment, and how teachers can use media literacy education to engage students and prepare them to thrive in the ever-shifting terrain of the digital world.

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

A Deeper Sense of Literacy is the first book to suggest that media literacy is both a content area and an approach to teaching that can be integrated into any subject area. It combines theory and practical application in a way that addresses the most important questions related to media literacy in education today: what is it, why is it important, how can you teach it across a wide range of curriculum areas and grade levels, and does it work? Rather than focusing on how to teach media literacy, Scheibe and Rogow focus on actually using media literacy to teach lessons across the content areas.

This book should be USED by teachers everywhere." -- Elizabeth Thoman, Founder "Scheibe and Rogow have developed an innovative approach to help teachers master the secrets of inquiry learning for media literacy education.
