Question
Anthony Lilley
, In your Guardian column, you referred to people needing to develop a new kind of literacy to make sense of the vast amount of video information now available-is this something that could actually be taught formally?

Answer
I think that some aspects of media literacy could be taught formally but I am more inclined to encourage peer to peer sharing of experiences and stories which pass on skills and experience. I certainly don’t believe that adding media literacy to the curriculum will solve the many and varied issues with which new technology faces us – for two reasons, firstly, the challenges are often more to those outside formal education than within it and secondly, the development of so-called “soft skills” like this is notoriously tricky to achieve using traditional approaches to the curriculum. That said, I believe educators, parents and others need help in this area.
