Reviews for Discovering Media Literacy

"Many professional books talk about digital and media literacy, but this text addresses the complete continuum—from television to technology—and guides teachers to think deeply about their own preferences and beliefs, as well as those of their students to develop knowledgeable, informed media users and consumers for the 21st century."
Kristin Ziemke Fastabend, First Grade Teacher
