Media

is the process of teaching and learning about media.[1] It is about developing young people's critical and creative abilities when it comes to the media.

This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of three aspects of learning – collaboration, self-regulated learning (SRL), and information seeking (IS) in both Internet-based and traditional face-to-face learning contexts. A multi-dimensional questionnaire was designed to evaluate each aspect in terms of perceived capability, experience, and interest. The analyses explore (1) potential differences of students’ perceptions between Internet-based and face-to-face learning environments and (2) potential differences in the three aspects in relation to learners’ attributes and the use of the Internet and enrollment in online courses. This study surveyed students in a higher education institute who had had experiences with Internet-based and face-to-face learning. The results showed that students perceived higher levels of collaboration

DO NOT…. Send a picture to someone via email/snapchat/instagram that you wouldn’t want your boss, principal, or grandma to see! Sure you are sending them to your good friend or significant other. But what happens when that person is no longer your BFF? Or maybe their phone gets nabbed by someone with fewer morals. The online proof: www.MyEx.com is one of several sites that allows people to submit naked photos of their exes. [NSFW - this site is Not Safe for Work] Post personal information that is not readily available Think about the last time you had to recover a password online. Was the question: Pet’s name, childhood street, kid’s birthday or mother’s maiden name? Make sure that kind of information stays private and don’t use it for the actual passwords. The online proof: Here are the most common and hackable passwords. Announce when you are going away Yes, your friends are excited that you only have 3 more days until you leave for Hawaii! But so is the guy that has been staking out your house. You think you used Foursquare to get a discount at a restaurant. Someone else used it to know you were not at work. The online proof: The website PleaseRobMe.com is a collection of data from various social sites that tells you who is away. Underestimate what your device or computer already knows about you All online content is tagged with metadata which contains anything from the timestamp it was created to the location. You cannot see the metadata when you post but simple free software can pull it for someone else. Be wary of geotagging on mobile devices, which marks where you took the photo. The online proof: Here is a video of how geotagging can be used to track down an address where a photo was taken – in this case, through popular teen apps. Forget to set your privacy settings Not only should you check your settings at the outset but you should recheck them frequently. Facebook, for example, uses an ‘opt out’ policy which means that by default you are sharing more information until you go in and update those settings. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook or join our mailing list to get those updates sent to you. The online proof: Here is a fantastic infographic that shows how Facebook privacy settings have changed and what data is now available if you haven’t updated them. Post negative comments about your workplace or coworkers Even if your boss or coworkers are not able to see your comment, a future employer could see that comment and reconsider hiring you later. The online proof: Here are examples of people actually fired due to their social post. Post photos of your friends that break the first rule It is a great photo of you. So what if your friend is doing something in the background that would tarnish their reputation? If you tag them, your friend can remove the tag, but unless the photo violates terms and conditions (allowing a site to pull it down) only you control the permissions on that photo.  Put yourself in their shoes (and hope they would do the same). This goes double for pictures of underage kids. If the child is under 18, you technically need the parents permission to post it. The online proof: This article talks about the inability to remove someone else’s photo. Use the same password for every account I know it is a pain to remember different passwords for all of your sites but it is an even bigger pain if someone hacks in to one of your accounts. Are you using the same password for your social networks, banking, or online shopping? If a hacker finds just one instance of your password then they will now have access to everything. The online proof: Here is just one example where hackers breached the Adobe database and were able to access users’ Facebook accounts because the email-password combinations were the same.

231. Academic JournalEmergent Media Literacy: Digital Animation in Early Childhood. By: Marsh, Jackie. Language & Education: An International Journal. 2006, Vol. 20 Issue 6, p493-506. 14p. Abstract: This paper outlines a research project in which three- and four-year-old children in one nursery engaged with editing software to create short animated films. Research questions were related to the knowledge and understanding of multimodal texts that the children developed in the activity, the skills they demonstrated in undertaking the animation work and the implications for curriculum development. Qualitative data were collected over the period of an academic year as children were observed (using fieldnotes and video camera) planning and producing the films. This paper analyses some of the knowledge and understanding of multimodal texts developed throughout the project and suggests that early childhood educators need to understand the nature of new authorial practices if they are to provide appropriate scaffolding for children's learning in the new media age.

Television Teaching: Parody, The Simpsons , and Media Literacy Education. By: Gray, Jonathan. Critical Studies in Media Communication. Aug2005, Vol. 22 Issue 3, p223-238. 16p. Abstract: This paper examines televisual parody as a media literacy educator, and the potential of parody to channel the powers of comedy and entertainment in order to “teach” the techniques and rhetoric of televisual texts and genres. It focuses on the case of the hugely successful and popular animated parodic sitcom, The Simpsons , and its playful attack on advertising and promotional culture. Currently in its 16th season, The Simpsons broadcasts to approximately 60 million viewers in 70 countries weekly, offering a playful critique of television from within the television frame.

35. Academic JournalTeaching and Reading the Millennial Generation Through Media Literacy. By: Considine, David; Horton, Julie; Moorman, Gary. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. Mar2009, Vol. 52 Issue 6, p471-481. 11p. 1 Chart. Abstract: The article discusses how teachers can integrate media literacy practices adopted by students into literacy education curricula. The authors note how the spread of digital technology has affected millenials, youth who have been raised amidst and influenced by information communication technology (ICT), and discuss criticism of academic achievement by students in the 21st century. They suggest restriction of Internet activities in schools decreases student interest, engagement and motivation and recommend schools integrate Internet and multimedia texts into curricula. The Text, Audience and Production (TAP) model for media literacy is presented as a way to help students comprehend and evaluate media texts. A multimedia lesson on the ocean liner Titanic is presented as an example.

37. Academic JournalMedia Literacy Education in the Social Studies: Teacher Perceptions and Curricular Challenges. By: Stein, Laura; Prewett, Anita. Teacher Education Quarterly. Winter2009, Vol. 36 Issue 1, p131-148. 18p. 7 Charts. Abstract: The article focuses on the familiarity of social studies teachers with media literacy education in the classroom, their perceptions about the role of media literacy in the curriculum, and the implications of these perspectives for curriculum development and training in the U.S. The author explains that media literacy education is relevant to the social studies for multiple reasons such as imparting fiction and nonfiction narratives about people, places and events. He also points out that youths' knowledge of world events and cultures comes from media representations. In the U.S., more than thirty states include media literacy education components in their education principles for social studies courses, including history, economics, geography, and civics.

1. Academic JournalTEACHING MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY TO POSTGRADUATE RESEARCHERS. By: Whitworth, Andrew; Steve McIndoe; Clare Whitworth. ITALICS: Innovations in Teaching & Learning in Information & Computer Sciences. Feb2011, Vol. 10 Issue 1, p35-42. 8p. Abstract: This paper reports on a project funded by the HEA-ICS, which sought to create an open educational resource to help develop media and information literacy skills in postgraduate research students. The resource uses a distinctive and holistic approach to the teaching of these subjects, which brings together Bruce et al's 'Six Frames of Information Literacy' model (2007), Egan's division of literacy into conventional, emergent and comprehensive (1990), and Whitworth's objective, subjective and intersubjective domains of value (2009b). The paper describes the structure and methods of the course, and some results from the summer 2010 evaluation of the draft version. It explains how this evaluation has resulted in the final version of the materials which are in place on http://madigitaltechnologies.wordpress.com/infoliteracy.
