This is a book by a media literacy educator who understands digital media-and how to teach our youngest media users, and there is no better media literacy educator than one who asks, How can we respond to uncertainty with imagination rather than fear? Thank you, Faith. This is the question of our time. -Anne Collier, Executive Director, The Net Safety Collaborative Rogow has gifted us with a creative and comprehensive manual for teaching media literacy to young children, a challenge of the past that this author has now conquered for the skeptical early childhood educator who might question whether media literacy is age appropriate. -Stephanie Flores-Koulish, Professor, Media Literacy Instructor, and Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Social Justice Program, Loyola University This is not a book about media. This is not a book about technology. This is a book about literacy while using media of all kinds and technology of all kinds, and the power of inquiry to help children understand and excel in our complex world. Faith Rogow has done it again-she stretches our thinking, opens our minds, and provides an array of easy-to-use strategies to support children's literacy for today and the future. There is no better book for helping you think, really think, about how to help children become media literate in today's world. It has tips and aha moments on every page! -Lisa Guernsey, Senior Fellow and Strategic Advisor, New America As I read this book, I found myself completely engrossed. I learned, I reflected, I related. I found myself deep in ideas, thinking of how to capture, bottle, and pour this knowledge into my colleagues and my teaching! Early childhood educators and children will learn about media beyond imagery. This book talks about thinking critically about media with intentionality. Readers are guided through methodologies and taught to become purposeful and digitally engaged, inquiry-based thinkers. -Sabrina Burroughs, Kindergarten Teacher, Technology in Early Education, Mentor
