Indiscreet distribution of harmful content, excessive exposure to violent material and excessive use of the Internet are becoming an axis of social conflicts, and the damage is expanding to lower ages. At the introduction of media, we were in great expectation on its educational use. It has become, however, the most harmful environment from the aspect of education. Media education can be in two aspects: education to accept, product and utilize media to activate the positive functions; and protective and preventive education to minimize the negative functions. What is worthy of note is that media education can be carried out in the aspects of both the positive functions and the negative functions of media. This study suggests the media education program applicable to elementary schools, noting the aspects of both the positive functions and the negative functions of media.
