Abstract

This article is an autobiographical account of the author’s early encounters with media ecology, and an elaboration of the differences in learning about media ecology vs. learning by media ecology. Several examples of teaching by media ecology are explored, including lessons about the biases of media, orality and literacy, and the systems approach connected to media ecological explorations.
