Abstract

The media has a huge impact on how we view society and the world and new technologies continue to transform the way in which we work and learn. It is therefore essential that young people can engage critically in their consumption of media and the internet and are able to make informed decisions about the technologies they use. This book provides explores the broad contexts and ideas that technology facilitates in our culture and considers what this means for teachers in practice.
