All illusions are potential ways of ordering reality. The goal of criticism should therefore be not to destroy illusions but to make us more sensitive to their workings and their complexity.

Bruner, is very important in
Bruner, is very important in terms of media education. Because he has introduced cognitive learning to the world of education. It is not enough to learn competencies and skills to improve media literacy. People get a lot personal, community- social and cultural benefit from making sensible choices about information, using self-expression and using digital tools to join online share our interest and concerns around the world. I learned many thing from Bruner. During my university years I learned his structural, discovery learning model. This model involves students using their brains in a conscious way by exploring. This model is directly related to media literacy. We want people to be conscious and critical thinkers when exposed to the media. While they watching or reading to the media we want to they ask some questions to their media tools or context. Besides we want they create a new product about media or real life. These are learning by experienced and learning by live. I was impressed and in my media literacy class, I tried the discover by learning of my students.

I think McLuhan is a real
I think McLuhan is a real educator and thinker. I started to evaluate media literacy from different angles after reading his books.Maybe i can think thanks to his different aspects on states, object and media tools explain. Also he change my mind about media literacy. For example in his 'The Medium is the message' book ı learned that the content to be given is shaped by the means. and his 'Global Village' book video connecting technologies can lead to a kind of psychological death for the entire humanity by separating it from the natural plain the book of nature, by creating a Narcissus like inversion. İn the book of Gutenberg Galaxy I examined the types of literacy that changed from clay tablet to printing press.
