    Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century addresses this vital question, taking viewers to the frontlines of what is rapidly becoming an education revolution. The film, targeted at parents, teachers, and anyone concerned about education in America, explores how exceptional educators are increasingly using digital media and interactive practices to ignite their students' curiosity and ingenuity, help them become civically engaged, allow them to collaborate with peers worldwide, and empower them to direct their own learning.

  • literacy is beginning to be defined as the ability to share meaning through symbol systems in order to fully participate in society
  • “text” is beginning to be understood as any form of expression or communication in fixed and tangible form that uses symbol systems, including language, still and moving images, graphic design, sound, music and interactivity.
  • New types of texts and new types of literacies have been emerging over a period of more than 50 years.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • information literacy, media literacy, media education, visual literacy, news literacy, health media literacy, and digital literacy, among others
  • disciplinary backgrounds of the stakeholders
  • wide scope of the knowledge and skills involved
  • These concepts must not be treated as competitors

      yet they compete for the focus of transformational efforts of educators, and time within the curriculum.  
  • a closely-knit family
  • information literacy has typically been associated with research skills. Media literacy typically has been associated with critical analysis of news, advertising and mass media entertainment. Health media literacy has been associated with exploring media’s impact on making positive choices related to nutrition, exercise, body image, violence and substance abuse prevention. Digital literacy is associated with the ability to use computers, social media, and the Internet

      interesting to see how they have settled in.  I have always considered media literacy to encompass all of the above.  technical skills necessary to "access... and create... in a variety of media".  info literacy to "access and synthesize" info.  the focus on critical analysis within media literacy can be applied across the curriculum -- health is one area of focus, violence another -- both subjects impacted greatly by media messages.   * quotes refer to the NAMLE.net Definition of Media Literacy.  
  • “digital and media literacy” is used to encompass the full range of cognitive, emotional and social competencies that includes the use of texts, tools and technologies; the skills of critical thinking and analysis; the practice of message composition and creativity; the ability to engage in reflection and ethical thinking; as well as active participation through teamwork and collaboration.
  • empowered to speak out on behalf of the missing voices and omitted perspectives in our communities
  • By identifying and attempting to solve problems, people use their powerful voices and their rights under the law to improve the world around them
  • spiral of empowerment
  • active participation in lifelong learning
  • both consuming and creating messages
  • consistent with constructivist education
  • Common Core State Standards Initiative (2010) points out, “To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, report on, and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need to research and to consume and produce media is embedded into every element of today’s curriculum.”

      there it is.  we have to emphasize this statement explicitly in development of units addressing the specific standards? 
  • Essential Competencies of Digital and Media Literacy 1.    ACCESS Finding and using media and technology tools skillfully and sharing appropriate and relevant information with others 2.   ANALYZE & EVALUATE Comprehending messages and using critical thinking to analyze message quality, veracity, credibility, and point of view, while considering potential effects or consequences of messages 3.   CREATE Composing or generating content using creativity and con­fidence in self-expression, with awareness of purpose, audience, and composition techniques 4.   REFLECT Applying social responsibility and ethical principles to one’s own identity and lived experience, communication behavior and conduct 5.   ACT Working individually and collaboratively to share knowledge and solve problems in the family, the workplace and the community, and participating as a member of a community at local, regional, national and international levels
  • “Teachers understand media’s influence on culture and people’s actions and communication; as a result, teachers use a variety of approaches for teaching students how to construct meaning from media and nonprint texts and how to compose and respond to film, video, graphic, photographic, audio, and multimedia texts
  • “preservice, inservice, and staff development programs that will focus on new literacies, multimedia composition, and a broadened concept of literacy”
  • Understand how people use media in their personal and public lives Recognize the complex relationships among audiences and media content Appreciate that media content is produced within social and cultural contexts Understand the commercial nature of media Use media to communicate to specific audiences
  • But genuine educational change in K–12 and higher education does not come about simply by generating documents or developing written standards
  • What is needed now is a clear and compelling vision of the instructional practices
  • Rhys Daunic on 05 Jun 11
     
    Regarding what's missing from the Core Common Standards -- new texts, new media, viewing...  Where does "complexity" of new media text get taught? How will teachers learn to parse it?  Is new media analysis and production a discipline?  Yes in my opinion.  Is it interdisciplinary? Yes.  Media related to various content areas have their own criteria.  Video, photography, blogs, social networks and the systems that deliver them are, in a way, their own languages. They are increasingly dominating how our society functions, informs and represents itself.  HOW can this still be an afterthought for educators?  Fear?  Uncertainty on how to proceed?  Because it's not tested? The text landscape is more complex than the textbook.

professional development

  • 4. Seek out Web-based professional development. I am finding that Web-based training is very appealing to classroom teachers simply because there is no time in a school day to learn how to use/integrate technology. In many districts today, planning time has been significantly reduced. This leaves teachers with either early morning, after school, weekend, or Web-based training as the only options for technolgoy professional development. Web-based training, if designed effectively and utilized rich multimedia, gives teachers convenient anytime, anwhere training. In fact, I created a Blackboard course about Blackbord that utilizes interactive streaming flash video. If a teacher wants to learn how to create and and suggestions for integrating a wiki in a Blackboard course, they simply watch a streaming video on how to accomplish this. This, then, allows teachers to apply skills and have complete control over their own learning/training pace. I think more teachers need to inquire/push for Web-based technology professional development to their I.T. departments and administrators; not just be provided with hyperlinks to online tutorials that merely show you how to use educational software.

    Simply a comment from an educator, and their spelling is appalling! However he/she makes a good point about web-based PD.

    This looks to be a robust assessment tool that allows teachers to track student progress. Some of the features include: a learning map that displays progres towards mastery of standards (CCLS aligned) and tools to support teachers in interpreting data. It also item analysis, grade-level stats and support tools that teachers can use to design interim assessments and more.
