Watching Media Learning

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.
