The boundaries of classrooms are beginning to soften; students’ prior knowledge is more likely to be acknowledged and honored; the need to prepare students for lifelong learning – and to meet them where they are – all are indicative of a movement towards the type of pedagogy that media literacy fosters and delivers. This issue includes interviews with education entrepreneurs from: School on Wheels, Los Angeles; Ace Preparatory Academy, Indiannapolis; Da Vinci Charter Schools, Southern California. We are pleased to report that NAMLE has renamed its Meritorious Service Award in honor of Elizabeth Thoman. The award is "to be given to individuals or projects that have significantly contributed to the growth and quality of the field of media literacy."
