Abstract	Media literacy education is currently at a point of transition. It is a point of opportunity, certainly; but it is also one of risk and danger. It is a point at which we need to be very clear about our aims and priorities - because if we are not clear about where we are going, we are very likely to lose our way. As my title suggests, the challenges here are partly about technology - but only partly. There is a good deal of loose talk about the promise and impact of technology; and this is particularly the case when we talk about young people - the so-called 'digital natives' we hear so much about. Yet technological change is always also about cultural, social, economic and political change. Current changes in the media environment are not just about technology, but also about how identities are formed and lived out in modern societies. So in talking about technology, we need to be careful that we do not accord it an all-determining power. (DIPF/Orig.).
