"When using digital media in school, it’s not the contents that should be determined through the medium, rather the other way around. That’s how a natural link between analog and digital media arises."
Jutta Heimann-Feldhoff, Bornheim Europe School
"I dispute that children are basically more competent in media use than adults. What the adults can learn from the children, however, is an open approach to media."
Christine Feil, Deutsches Jugendinstitut
"When promoting media literacy, along with the pupils and students, teachers must also be considered. That’s how creative lessons can be designed to inspire to learn."
Gun Hellmich, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kammerl, University of Hamburg
"Safe and competent handling of digital media is necessary to understanding and autonomously shaping the virtual world."
