Literacy in Multimedia America : Integrating Media Across the Curriculum (Critical Education Practice, Volume 25)

Literacy in Multimedia America provides thoughtful insights, practical suggestions, and clear-cut strategies for integrating media across the K-12 curriculum. This original and valuable contribution to teaching and curriculum design uses students' own media experiences or media vignettes from students' lives to enter teaching and learning. Dr. Ladislaus M. Semali provides a road map for teachers longing to reflect and take seriously the knowledge students bring to school from their homes and communities, and to draw upon this background to develop students' critical thinking, viewing and reading of written texts, visuals, and other electronic images and messages.
