On Saturday, November 13th, I gave the keynote address at the Media Commons Tailgate, a community organized “unconference” where students, faculty and staff gathered to explore the impact new media technologies are having on teaching and learning.
There is little question that new media technologies are transforming the practice of education, and our practices of education must change in the wake of the emergence of new media technologies.
I conclude the presentation with some examples of how we have sought to cultivate enriching new media literacies with our students in the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Studies office. I specifically discuss the work of Nicole Zinni and Justin Ogden, and I highlight some of the things we discussed in Liberal Arts Voices 15, when we focused on our DC interns.
Please take some time to watch the video. I welcome feedback in the comments on this blog.
For those of you who want to investigate the videos associated with this post a bit further, I have embedded a playlist that includes all the videos I touch upon in the presentation. They give articulate voice to the kinds of enriching literacies our students are cultivating in and through their engagement with social media on our site.
Finally, I include a link to the Traditional and New Media Literacies Prezi itself for those who want to navigate through in more detail.
