Media, Learning, and Sites of Possibility provides new insights into the relationships between youth, pedagogy, and media, and points to unexamined possibilities for teaching, learning, and ethnographic research that emerge when media - including computer technologies, photography, popular music, and film - become central features of learning spaces that youth occupy. Through six empirically driven essays, all written by new scholars in the fields of literacy, media, technology, and youth culture, this book surveys a variety of learning environments, methodological approaches, and forms of media engagement.

Industry Reviews

"This collection of ethnographic case studies coupled with scholarly responses provides valuable insights into young people's learning when they are engaged with media analysis and production projects in both formal and informal education contexts. Our media-saturated world requires that youth develop critical and creative competencies with multiple forms of media and communication technologies. How can educators in and out of schools help? How do youth themselves participate in and transform media cultures? What more needs to be done? Read this book to get suggestions for action that are theoretically and practically grounded." (JoEllen Fisherkeller, Associate Professor, Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University; Author of Growing Up with Television: Everyday Learning Among Young Adolescents)
