As such, it is organized around three broad areas of digital media: moving media, still media, and audio media. This book is very much concerned with engaging students in do-it-yourself digitally mediated meaning-making practices. DIY Media addresses this issue head-on, and describes expansive and creative practices of digital literacy that are increasingly influential and popular in contexts beyond the school, and whose educational potential is not yet being tapped to any significant degree in classrooms. Schools remain notorious for co-opting digital technologies to business as usual approaches to teaching new literacies.
