Preferred term

schools and media education  

Definition

  • With the media occupying such a large presence of the daily lives of children and teens, calls have been issued for schools to take up the study of media, beginning as early as kindergarten and continuing through 12th grade. Proponents of media education in the classroom argue that in the modern world, the subject of the media deserves a place alongside more traditional topics such as social studies, science, and math.
