New Media Literacy has many, many sub-categories which cannot all be mastered by one person. However, to be fluent - I believe you have to be able to collaborate and communicate in order to work across the diverse media. <br /><br />What do the readings have to say in this regard? <br />The readings discuss the importance to continue research concerning New Media, Learning Ecologies, Transforming the current curriculum to embrace this literacy, and to promote the use of digital media in and across the curriculum of all ages. <br /><br />What have your gleaned from your own experiences in the studio thus far? <br />I have discovered I am truly a digital immigrant, but thankfully - I am aware of my differences compared to the digital natives - thus making it possible for me to go through the stages of culture shock - to adjust to the new culture and to acclimate to my surroundings so I can create learning environments that are meaningful and purposeful to our young minds immersed in this new media culture. I have also learned that I don't need to know it all -but I need to be aware of the possibilities - and open to change. . . . not to mention being a role model as a new media learner. <br /><br />What might you add to the discussions in the literature?<br />Many of the articles discuss middle schoolers and high schoolers - I am interested in how to help elementary teachers to adapt to the new media and embrace it with open arms - rather than being afraid of it. If I had the means, today, I would add to the discussion/literature that our elementary environments need a flexible space for more learning to occur through the use of New Media.KS Family and Educationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119933355477658534noreply@blogger.com
