Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-22 00:00:00 Robert Matchett This is an excellent read for elementary school teachers and librarians. Hobbs and Moore define media literacy, discuss why it is so important to teach it our students, and describe how they have gone about doing this. There is a nice balance between philosophy and practical examples of lessons they have done with students. My only quibble is that I wish the example lessons had listed which grades they had actually tried them with. With the increase of digital tools in our classrooms and the ever-present influence of the media on our students it is imperative that we teach them how to become thoughtful media consumers, recognize how others use media to deliver messages, and learn how to use digital tools to make their voices heard.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-04 00:00:00 Sue Tootell This is the most inspiring book I've read related to librarianship period. Maybe that is in part due to the fact that it is a book for educators, including librarians. And it is definitely due to my own fear and questions about copyright and fair use in schools and digital media projects. 100 pages long, I read this book in a single sitting. Finally, a clearly written book on an important, timely topic. The book calls for educators and all people to reclaim their rights as users under the doctrine of fair use. The book certainly has a point of view, but the argument is certainly compelling. I can't wait to raid the bibliography and look at the online references. One of the best books I've read this year. Seriously.
