'Cary Bazalgette has produced a handy source book of theory, practice, wisdom, and research, from a wide spectrum of approaches. For me, the best chapter in the book is by Christine Whitney, one of a group of local authority literacy advisors who might admit they have come late to media education, but who have nevertheless made very significant impacts on its practice and acceptance.
Researched thinking explains why media has a role to play in school life and why, as teachers, we shouldn't ignore what children are engaging with outside the classroom. Each chapter suggests why we should bring these experiences in to our lessons to enrich and enhance the curriculum.
Provides good, up to date information. Good practical advice provided for professionals.
Practical resource that will support this area of our post graduate course. A variety of issues are addressed including developing children's criticality and supporting creative approaches with ICT.
This book is very informative and practical for students undertaking Digital Movie Making and Animation. It also fits in nicely when we look at the power of Social Media.
