<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Designed for K-12 educators, library media specialists.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Get the strategies and tools you need to develop a deep understanding of media literacy so that you can pass on essential critical thinking skills to your students.</b> <p/>Helping students understand media literacy has never been more important. Today's young people often spend over 10 hours a day consuming media. Aided by technology, they can instantly engage with media outlets and platforms to find answers, share information, shop or connect with friends. But access alone doesn't lead to critical thinking. <p/>Media is designed to be analyzed, deconstructed and reconstructed. Understanding how to interpret advertising messages, check for bias or avoid stereotyping are among the skills students need to become knowledgeable consumers and producers of media. This is where <i>Media Literacy in the K-12 Classroom, Second Edition</i> comes in. <p/>Included in this revised edition: <ul><li>A new section that examines "big ideas" in media literacy, such as bias, representation, gatekeeping and symbolism.</li><li>Voices from the field in each chapter, answering the questions: Why do you think media literacy education is important? What resources would you recommend to learn more?</li><li>Two full media literacy lesson plans that can be easily adapted for your classes.</li><li>Guiding questions, exercises and checklists for deconstructing media messages. </li><li>An appendix with over 80 author-recommended resources.</li></ul><br>How do you begin to understand the importance of teaching media literacy? Where can you find appropriate resources -- lessons, activities, videos and books -- to help you do so? This book is the place to start. <p/><b>Audience: </b> K-12 educators, library media specialists<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Baker] provides research and examples to show not only the importance of media literacy education, but also the effortlessness of its application." -- Praise for first edition, Jonathan Friesem, <i>Journal of Media Literacy Education</i><br><br>"Brimming with useful instructional material about self-assessments, web-based tools, sample lesson plans, and more." -- <i>School Library Journal</i><br><br>"Media expert Frank Baker's update to the original 2012 edition focuses on helping K12 educators better define, understand and teach media literacy.
