Summary/Abstract: It is nowadays difficult to find any science or field of human activity that is, at least indirectly, not linked to the term of media. The media affect almost all the areas of the humanities and social sciences. The paper discusses the media theory developed by Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980), Canadian professor of English literature, who won recognition as one of the most prominent theoreticians of communications. His media theory has exercised an impact on all current theoreticians of media and philosophers, sociologists and mediologists, both in Croatia and worldwide. The author discusses certain elements of Marshall McLuhan’s theory, which teachers might find useful for developing a better understanding of the nature of media in their everyday work.
