ABSTRACT
This chapter describes and analyzes the actions organized by our research group – Language in Activities in School Contexts– in 2013 while discussing the use of multimedia in a classroom with students, educators, and school managers from public schools in Sao Paulo. It illustrates the production of a creative chain, in which actions are intentionally put forward so that meanings on teaching and learning are produced and carried out from one context to another. The chapter produces critical collaborative curricular proposals through reflection afforded by the use of multiple media in the process of planning, developing, and discussing curricula. It shares some essential ideas with the Echo Park Film Center, a Los Angeles nonprofit media education organization, presented by Rosales. The chapter believes that media literacy educators should promote media comprehension amongst children and young people. It argues that learning is dialectical and involves mutual interdependence between self and society.
