Issue 10.2 opens with the special feature 鈥淲hen Class Time Is Screen Time,鈥� which joins the pedagogical conversations about education during the pandemic. FFC Editorial Assistant Shamethia Webb introduces this group of short essays that centers the experiences of students as learners. The film reviews in this issue give us much to consider when constructing our syllabi and activities for students. Several reviews offer a more 鈥渕eta鈥� perspective about how we know what we know, guiding us through films about the importance of scientific and media literacy, as well as how our sources of information may arrive with powerful biases鈥攁ll topics that feel especially salient in the current moment.
