Media literacy is a buzz phrase, however, this guide will turn your class abuzz with higher order questioning, inquiry and reflection discussions throughout all content areas." </em>--Cheryl Oakes, Resource Room Teacher and Facilitator (7/18/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"Cyndy and Faith have provided many creative, inquiry-based lesson ideas students will love, and the kinds of activities in this book are more needed than ever--this book situates these tasks firmly in a truly broadened conception of what it means to be a literate person in the 21st century."</em>--William Kist, Associate Professor (7/28/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>A comprehensive overview of media literacy, from core principles to best practices. Scheibe and Rogow have done a masterful job articulating the multiple theories and aspects that constitute the media literacy field, further expanded the vocabulary, concepts, and approaches, and honed them to brilliant sharpness. This book should be USED by teachers everywhere.</em>--Elizabeth Thoman, Founder (8/12/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>I look forward to introducing this text to pre-service English and theatre educators. The balance of historical understandings, contemporary contexts, and useful examples will be a positive influence for beginning teachers who are practicing media literacy for the first time.</em>--Amy Petersen Jensen, Professor and Co-editor of the Journal of Media Literacy Education (7/26/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Scheibe and Rogow have developed an innovative approach to help teachers master the secrets of inquiry learning for media literacy education. They demonstrate how to support students' deep reading with a variety of print and non-print texts. Educators using these techniques will see dramatic improvements in the quality of student critical thinking skills.</em>--Renee Hobbs, Founding Director (8/12/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Scheibe and Rogow's book arrives at a moment when technology and educational thinking have finally converged. It combines important theoretical concepts with practical lesson plans applying media literacy across the curriculum and should be read by everyone interested in improving our public schools.</em>--Milton Chen, Senior Fellow & Executive Director, Emeritus (8/12/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>This is essential reading for teachers, but even more for those who set the education agenda in the United States. Scheibe and Rogow make it seem not only obvious but natural to include media literacy education at all levels of teaching and learning today.</em>--Sister Rose Pacatte, Director (7/28/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Cyndy Scheibe and Faith Rogow, both experts in the field of media literacy education, have provided the quintessential road map for understanding media literacy and its place in 21<sup>st</sup>-century classrooms. This extremely valuable text belongs on the bookshelf of every teacher's professional collection."--Frank W. Baker, Media Literacy Consultant (7/15/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Not only does this book provide a thorough and engaging backdrop for understanding media literacy; it also provides practical applications for the classroom. Filled with thoughtful tips and concrete examples, this is a book that teachers can use right off the shelf. I will definitely provide copies for my faculty and administrators." --Michelle Saylor, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Staff Development (7/15/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Well-articulated media literacy theories supported by a generous selection of practical student activities. For me, the book's strongest attribute is the scaffolding that helps students arrive at their own conclusions through critical thinking."--Neil Andersen, Educational Consultant (7/15/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br>
