The volume is structured around seven themes:• Media Literacy: Past and Present• Digital Media and Learning• Global Perspectives• Public Spaces• Civic Activism• Policy and Digital Citizenship• Future ConnectionsCompelling, well-organized, and authoritative, this one-stop resource for understanding more about media literacy education across disciplines, cultures, and divides offers the fresh outlook that is needed at this point in time. Globally, as more and more states and countries call for media literacy education more explicitly in their curriculum guidelines, educators are being required to teach media literacy in both elementary and secondary education contexts. | Media Literacy Education In Action by Belinha S.
