Impact of Media on Learning - 1 views

  • All forms of media- the newspaper, radio, television and the internet are equally important in imparting education
  • Media literacy or education does not only mean to be entertained by media but to learn something from it.
  • Media Literacy: "the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and communicate information in a variety of formats." —David Considine

  • Moreover, we have seen that a large number of people depend on the internet to collect information, read news, listen to music and download movies, play games and also for work. Newspaper, Radio, Television and the internet- all form part of the media and are important in imparting education. Media offers culture, sports, information, entertainment, current affairs and education.
  • Computer-based education has transformed the traditional offerings of distance learning.
  • The students can get a vast exposure to the pop-cultural references. They can get statistics and data from the news, which can be the basis for math and science learning. The teachers can also incorporate media analysis whenever the Internet, television or video are used in the classroom.
  • The first and foremost effect of media is definitely the accumulation of General knowledge, different dialects and cultures. Television boosts the social awareness of a child to a great extent. Sports channels develop the logical mindset of a child. Cartoon channels keep the children happy. News channels increase the vocabulary of the children and inform them about the positive and negative impacts on the society. It increases the concentration and retention power of a child, which benefits their studies to a great extent.
  • Children often learn certain things, which change their perspective towards life. For example, if they watch violent scenes on TV, their nature tends to be the same. There are many incidents where children try to imitate the super heroes and it results in death. Studies often get hampered and lapse of concentration occurs due to excessive watching of television. The advertisements shown in the media often captures the mood of the individuals. Generally, girls are very vulnerable and sensitive about their physical image. When an adolescent girl watches the ads that show unless we buy a product or carry the style statement or wash our hair with a specific shampoo and look smart like a slim model, we don’t get respect in the society or get a job.

digiteen2008 - Digital Law - 0 views

  • This is the electronic responsibility for actions which says if something is ethical or unethical. The responsibility of the digital law deals with the ethics of technology as a whole. Digital Law deals with four main topics: copyright, privacy, ethical issues, and piracy. Unethical use of computers can form into theft or crime like piracy. People that are ethical in the use of their computers may actually be the ones being hurt by those who are not following these protective laws. A student should not be allowed to mess with other peoples work or identity with rules being applied. We have the digital Law to basically protect us; since most people don't follow it, the internet is becoming a very dangerous place.

      this paragraph explains the four main topics dealing with the "Digital Law"
  • . There are so many new illegal ways to get what you want and not get caught that it is very hard to find the causes of viruses and other crimes. Some problems with Elementary students are that they can get on sites too mature for their age. The information on these sites may be inappropriate for their age group. Another problem may be that older people may harass them. There are also some problems with Middle/High school aged students. They may get on sites such as MySpace or Facebook and lie about their age, name, or any other aspects of their lives. This is not a very smart act considering that later they may be abused. They may use bad language on the internet or chat rooms. Predators can trick some teens that are unaware of such dangers into meeting up with them. Parents/guardians are unaware of what teens are looking at and/or doing and therefore cannot stop them from seeing and/or doing inappropriate things.

  • There are also some problems with adults. Using bad language, harassing and trapping youth, and the buying and selling of illegal merchandise are just some of the problems the adult generation faces today. Many adults are very sneaky and can use tricks to socialize with young adolescents. Some adults use Facebook, Myspace, or chatrooms to trick younger people into meeting up with them. These are just some of the main problems our generation of all different ages faces in this day and time.

      More dangers of the internet.
  • Breaking the law: On the internet you will come upon websites that will be breaking the law and you can report this to "NETALERT" www.neralert.vic.a, they will contact the authorities and put a stop to the website. Another problem is copyright. There is an easy solution to this problem though, and this solution is creative commonscreative commons is a site that lets you easily make your own copyright laws for your work. There are rules like no one can make money off of your work, no one can change the appearence of your work, and many more. By making it a law that people have to use creative commons to put anything on the internet, you can reduce the amount of copyright laws broken. Making adults aware of the consequences of their actions should help the problem dramatically. Most adults break digital laws thinking, " Oh yeah, sure, I'm not going to get into any trouble." when in fact they are on the verge to getting very serious legal punishment.

      more on breaking the internet law
  • There is a very interesting controversy brewing in Orange County, Florida. A 13-year-old girl Alisha Dean has a MySpace page that portrays herself as a 19-year-old divorced woman. She has been accused about lying to two men — Morris Williams, 22, and Darwin Mills, 24, about her age in two separate incidents. Both have been convicted and sent to jail for statutory rape. Digital Law for Middle School students not only has to deal with privacy but copyright and piracy.
