All My Media Book 2: From the Mobile Phone to GPS

The medium is the message. That is the premise of this series, which is designed to stimulate thinking about how media inventions, from the radio to Google and the mobile phone to GPS, have shaped the Information Age. Entertaining accounts of inventions are accompanied by discussion, writing and research activities that encourage students to consider the societal impact, help improve their oral and written communication skills and provide extension activities. Suitable for all secondary school levels.
