This blog is designed as a resource for CURR 501, Media Literacy, Popular Culture and Education at Rhode Island College, summer 2015. The course is driven by the essential question: How is new media and digital culture produced and consumed in ways that help us understand ourselves and each other in the context of the current educational landscape?

Blended Learning: Human +Technology (adding technology to the mix)

Hybrid Pedagogy: graphic in powerpoint


Studying Literature vs. Studying Film

  • Both texts
  • Representation
  • Identity
  • Narrative

Myths:
Student know more
Technology saves time
Technology = learning

"I wish I could do what my student just did..." (letting go as a teacher)


Digital Literacy -- requires elements of all of these things
Information Literacy:
Media Literacy: studying messages that teach us about what to buy and who we are
Computer Literacy: centering on a paper, predictive searching for BR*
Traditional Literacy: reading, writing, speaking, listening

Numbers don't lie... but they don't tell the truth either.
Numbers don't speak.
