Reviews
“MichelleCannon's book is an important and well-written contribution to the field of media literacy and media education. Her examination of media production in schools raises critical questions that challenge our understanding of creativity and digital technology as they relate to literacy. The book serves multiple purposes, offering an introduction to media literacy, a critical perspective on student agency and support for teachers working with film and media production.” (Oystein Gilje, Associate Professor - Department of Teacher Education and School Research, University of Oslo, Norway)
“In this inspirational and timely book, Cannon adds her expert voice to calls for rethinking literacy education to account for digital media practices. Firmly grounded in extensive research and professional experience, Cannon combines thought-provoking and incisive commentary with rich compelling examples of her own work with learners. Her book provokes the reader to see anew the complexities of young people’s creative and critical media production and as such is rich with possibilities. It’s a must-read for those already researching and practising in this field as well as those new to this area, and for all teachers who are committed, like Cannon, to ‘reimagining school’s relationship to film.” (Cathy Burnett, Professor of Literacy and Education, Sheffield Hallam University, UK)
“Michelle Cannon’s book is a much-needed, interdisciplinary and thoughtful piece of work. Full of detailed research, drawing on a wide range of theories from anthropology through to multimodality and the new literacy studies, it paints a detailed picture of digital media production by children and young people. It is passionately argued, highly original in its thinking and proposals of models of new ways with pedagogy in the 21st century. It deserves the widest possible readership in academic circles, but also in schools, speaking to practitioners in accessible language and with examples to which they will relate. Most importantly of all, it enlarges all our thinking about the possibilities of the digital in primary education.” (John Potter, Reader in Media in Education, University College London, UK)
