The structures of a traditional school curriculum, time-table, and teaching practices can, by their very nature, be destructive of Aboriginal identity and traditional Aboriginal education, even when, on the surface, the content of the school curriculum is Aboriginal. This article explores the idea that the processes of reading and writing and making books, movies and videos can also be very destructive of Aboriginal identity when these things are controlled by the imagination of white educators and media makers.

Access to technology and the Internet is having a positive impact on all levels, personal, family, professional and social. However, the influence of the media has not been accompanied by the promotion of media literacy. The development of the media skill among citizens, especially young people and children, in order to exercise a critical and active role in relation to the media, is a key development in this society of «media prosumers». This paper discusses the results of a research project at state level, surveying a sample of 2.143 students from Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary School, in this study using a questionnaire ad hoc online. The objetive of the research project is to identify levels of media literacy amongst children and adolescents. It can be seen that a significant portion of the sample is proficient in the media, at an acceptable level. However, and despite belonging to the generation of socalled «digital natives» the sample does not possess the skills necessary to practice as a «media prosumers». We conclude the work highlighting the necessity of complementing the digital competence established in the school curriculum with media literacy as a key element into developing a «prosumer culture». This would resolve the convergence of an urgent need to improve the training of young audiences as responsible citizens capable of consuming and producing media messages in a free, responsible, critical and creative way. El acceso a las tecnologías y a Internet está teniendo consecuencias positivas en todos los niveles, personales, familiares, profesionales y sociales. Sin embargo, la influencia de los medios de comunicación no se ha acompasado con el fomento de la alfabetización mediática. El desarrollo de la competencia mediática en la ciudadanía, y especialmente en los jóvenes y niños para que puedan ejercer de forma crítica y activa su papel ante los medios, se revela como clave en esta sociedad de «prosumidores mediáticos». En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un proyecto de investigación de ámbito estatal con el objetivo de identificar los niveles de competencia mediática de niños y adolescentes, encuestando a una muestra de 2.143 estudiantes de Educación Infantil, Primaria, Secundaria y Bachillerato, mediante un cuestionario ad hoc online. Puede observarse que una importante parte de la muestra es competente ante los medios, en un nivel aceptable, sin embargo, y a pesar de que pertenecen a la generación de los denominados «nativos digitales», no poseen las habilidades necesarias para ejercer como «prosumidores mediáticos». Concluimos el trabajo destacando la necesidad de complementar la competencia digital establecida en el currículum escolar con la competencia mediática, como elemento clave para desarrollar una «cultura prosumidora», convergencia de imperiosa necesidad para mejorar la formación de las jóvenes audiencias como ciudadanos responsables capaces de consumir y producir mensajes mediáticos de manera libre, responsable, crítica y creativa.

Delaney, Rachelle.  The Metro Dogs of Moscow.  Toronto: Penguin Canada, 2013. Print.When Edmonton and I were much younger—and regulation much more discretionary –our neighbour’s cocker spaniel, “Connie McCormack,” took the bus to the Safeway, helped herself to a package of meat, and rode back home with her prize.So do I believe that Delaney’s protagonist, JR, a little Jack Russell terrier, could ride the metro lines of Moscow, embark and disembark at the Ploshchad Revolutsii station, find his way to 460 Petrovsky in the warehouse district, and rescue a pack of stray dogs?  Absolutely.  With all my heart.  As will children of elementary school age.  If they don’t, they will surely suspend disbelief; the plot line is compelling, the anthropomorphism a mere literary necessity.  The book’s vocabulary and sentence structure are well suited to those who have mastered the basic reading skills of the primary school curriculum.  The copy reviewed was in paperback format; even so, the large font, wide spacing, and qualities of ink and paper were easy on the eyes.As a bonus feature, The Metro Dogs of Moscow stimulates interest in a nation that has played a powerful role in world affairs for centuries and that is often in the media spotlight today.  Without getting into the serious issues involving Chechnya, the Crimea, and the Ukraine (to say nothing of the Canadian Arctic) a parent or elementary teacher might at least get out the globe and say, “Let’s find Moscow.  What country is it in?  Does this country have hockey teams? Figure skaters? Ballet dancers?”  Because JR’s owner is an embassy staffer, one might also introduce the idea that embassies, diplomats and diplomacy keep nations talking with, and not warring with each other.  If the world is to achieve harmony, we must be able to imagine that other people queue up for “Kroshka Kartoshka” in the same way that we queue up for “double-doubles” and doughnuts. In the telling of this tale, Delaney encourages us to do so.Highly Recommended:  4 out of 4 starsReviewer:  Leslie AitkenLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special, and university collections.  She is a former Curriculum Librarian at the University of Alberta.

This paper aims to take stock of the acquisitions achieved by evidence-based research on teaching to read, to compare them with the teaching practices, as they emerge from the school textbooks proposed by the publishing houses in Italy. Moving from the importance recently assumed by scientific research on effective teaching and the need to avoid risks and misunderstandings that can be generated for its use in practice, the evidence acquired about the teaching of reading and writing is presented, recalling the need to focus on the grapheme-phoneme correspondence to be acquired by children in a progressive, systematic and explicit way. It is then pointed out that the textbooks in use propose approaches in clear contrast with this finding. The second part focuses on the experimental researches conducted in Italy in recent years, congruent with the framework previously indicated, which achieve better effectiveness and high motivation in all pupils. Particular attention is paid to the national research conducted recently by the Association S.Ap.I.E.
