The chapter has been shortened and rewritten in some parts for&nbsp;the article. The article focuses on different classroom strategies identified during the&nbsp;ethnographic school research in one of the Finnish secondary schools carried out&nbsp;during the academic year 2009–2010. The study indicates that teachers analyse and&nbsp;produce media texts as key strategies in media education. In the article, I will give&nbsp;examples of an advertisement project, a soap opera drama, an animation project,&nbsp;a "life career assignment" and a newspaper strategy in different learning settings.&nbsp;All examples indicate that media education needs to build a strong bridge between&nbsp;youth and school culture and that technology in the school follows the content of&nbsp;learning.</p> ER -
