Pretty good and comprehensive media
awareness kit, beginning with the nature
and impact of traditional media and
continuing through to many internet
services and practices. Worth noting is
the authors' extensive use of Wikipedia
in the internet section. Also new to me
was the story of how Celestin Freinet
introduced a printing press to his
classroom and watched as the students took
it upon themselves to learn the art of
newspaper production. "The pupils wrote down
their own personal adventures, the incidents
that they had experienced inside and outside
the classroom, and so on. Usually these texts
were then presented to the class, discussed,
corrected and edited by the class as a whole
before being finally printed by the children
themselves working together. Freinet called
this approach Free Writing ('Texte libre')."
It sounds a lot like the stories being told
by today's bloggers. Via
