Abstract

Schools today have to face a new challenge: Teaching Media Literacy. This cannot be fulfilled by providing computer- and internet education alone, but has to include social, ethical and emotional aspects as well. For the schools, this means acquiring the appropriate equipment and educational tools for introducing new media into everyday school life. The necessary adjustments of learning organisation require flexibility, vision and commitment.
