Belinha de Abreu’s Media literacy, social networking, and the Web 2.0 environment for the K-12 educator lives up to its lengthy title and back cover blurb promises: it’s a comprehensive educational resource exploring social networking through the lens of media literacy. The book attempts to cover complex territory in simple terms, while still grappling with the significance of participatory culture and new media practices for education. That’s a lot to take on in fewer than two hundred pages, and de Abreu does a commendable job of outlining the landscape of social and educational change represented by Web 2.0 platforms and technologies.
