Engaging students in the media design and production process themselves is far more important than focusing on the ways in which media is designed for their consumption, as Kadle emphasizes. I would argue that engaging students in interactive media design, particularly game design, is the key to helping them achieve a useful 21st Century education that teaches them concrete skills as well as how to be innovative thinkers.

Check out this great visual on Problem Based Learning (PBL)from Mia MacMeekin. It provides a look at the seven steps found in PBL. For each step she provides a number of ways for students to think about the specific process. What are the seven areas?
1. Start with a real life problem
2. Map it out
3. Prototype, prototype, prototype
4. Be creative
5. Think global
6. Join a challenge
7. Set goals
8. Create learning moments
Along the way she also makes some suggestions on what you should be doing as a teacher. If PBL is new to you (or your students) this would be a great visual to have your students recreate, where they may change words and add images to make it their own. Then hang it in your classroom and support them as they become experienced at problem based learning.
