Transliteracy / Participatory Media Literacy - 0 views
-
Transliteracy is a new term derived from the verb 'to transliterate', meaning to write or print a letter or word using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language. Today we extend the act of transliteration and apply it to the increasingly wide range of communication platforms and tools at our disposal. From early signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV & film to networked digital media, the concept of transliteracy provides a cohesion of communication modes relevant to reading, writing, interpretation and interaction.

3. Investigate and document the organizational and policy issues that are critical obstacles for the effective deployment of new media.
4. Develop a concise report of findings and construct an action plan for intervention.

Freecycle is for giving away items that you don't want to go into landfillls.
-
This is not a "greenwashing." (Greenwashing is a new term coined for those who claim green and its not.) This is a grassroots effort of people who are giving things away for free -- keeping them out of landfills. What a great opportunity to share. My students and I are going to spend some time on here and we're going to register some items we have to freecycle. PLEASE PASS THIS ONE ALONG! What a great use of Web 2.

"Whyville is a virtual world geared for teen and pre-teen girls and boys. Whyville's millions of registered "citizens" come from all over to learn, create, and have fun together. Whyville is their world. Whyville has places to go, things to do, and of course, people to see. Whyville has its own newspaper, its own Senators, its own beach, museum, City Hall and town square, its own suburbia, and even its own economy - citizens earn "clams" by playing educational games. And much, much, much more!"

So many communities … so little time. What makes a community successful? | Welcome to NCS-Tech! - 12 views

All that said, great networks don’t try to be all things to all people, they know their charter / target market / participant demographic and what matters to them. Leaders aren’t appointed, they emerge organically.

Reading through the list, the message is clear: communities are PEOPLE!

Our face to face meetings were terrific, but there seemed to be an opportunity to use technology to unite the group when we were back in our districts

Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds - Kaiser Family Foundation - 17 views
-
Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds is the third in a series of large-scale, nationally representative surveys by the Foundation about young people's media use. It found that the amount of time young people spend with entertainment media has risen dramatically, especially among minority youth. Today, 8-18 year-olds devote an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes (7:38) to using entertainment media across a typical day (more than 53 hours a week). And because they spend so much of that time 'media multitasking,' they actually manage to pack a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes (10:45) worth of media content into those 7½ hours.
