Recenzje

This is an important book that challenges established thinking with regard to the relationship between culture and education. The chapters outline an array of innovative pedagogies and creative approaches to teaching that draw on popular culture and they offer critical reflections on practice that are underpinned by rigorous attention to theory. The collection is global in scope, highlighting the way in which issues relating to children and young people’s use of digital technologies and media culture are relevant across cultures. A must-read for teachers, students, academics and policy makers interested in ensuring that pedagogy and curricula are appropriate for the 21st century.  – Jackie Marsh, University of Sheffield, UK
