Media Education for the 21Media Education for the 21stst
CenturyCentury
 “If it were possible to define generally the
mission of education, it could be said that its
fundamental purpose is to ensure that all
students benefit from learning in ways that allow
them to participate fully in public, community,
[Creative] and economic life.”
— New London Group (2000, p. 9)
Participatory CultureParticipatory Culture
 According to a recent study from the Pew
Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt &
Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all teens
have created media content, and roughly one-
third of teens who use the Internet have shared
content they produced.
A Participatory Culture . . .A Participatory Culture . . .
 With relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic
engagement
 With strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations
with others
 With some type of informal mentorship whereby what is
known by the most experienced is passed along to novices
 Where members believe that their contributions matter
 Where members feel some degree of social connection with
one another (at the least they care what other people think
about what they have created)
Forms of Participatory CultureForms of Participatory Culture
 Affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in
online communities centered around various forms of
media, such as Friendster, Facebook, message boards,
metagaming, game clans, or MySpace
 Expressions — producing new creative forms, such
as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan
videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups
Forms of Participatory CultureForms of Participatory Culture
 Collaborative Problem-solving — working together
in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and
develop new knowledge (such as through Wikipedia,
alternative reality gaming, spoiling).
 Circulations — Shaping the flow of media (such as
podcasting, blogging).
ImplicationsImplications
 A growing body of scholarship suggests
potential benefits of these forms of
participatory culture, including:
 opportunities for peer-to-peer learning,
 a changed attitude toward intellectual property,
 the diversification of cultural expression,
 the development of skills valued in the modern
workplace, and a more empowered conception of
citizenship.
ImplicationsImplications
 Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from
one of individual expression to community
involvement.
 The new literacies almost all involve social skills
developed through collaboration and networking.
 These skills build on the foundation of traditional
literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical
analysis skills taught in the classroom.
The New LiteraciesThe New Literacies
 Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s
surroundings as a form of problem-solving
 Performance — the ability to adopt alternative
identities for the purpose of improvisation and
discovery
 Simulation — the ability to interpret and construct
dynamic models of real-world processes
 Appropriation — the ability to meaningfully sample
and remix media content
The New LiteraciesThe New Literacies
 Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s
environment and shift focus as needed to salient
details.
 Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact
meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities
 Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool
knowledge and compare notes with others toward a
common goal
 Judgment — the ability to evaluate the reliability
and credibility of different information sources
The New LiteraciesThe New Literacies
 Transmedia Navigation — the ability to follow the
flow of stories and information across multiple
modalities
 Networking — the ability to search for, synthesize,
and disseminate information
 Negotiation — the ability to travel across diverse
communities, discerning and respecting multiple
perspectives, and grasping and following alternative
norms.

  • 22.  “If it were possible to define generally the mission of education, it could be said that its fundamental purpose is to ensure that all students benefit from learning in ways that allow them to participate fully in public, community, [Creative] and economic life.” — New London Group (2000, p. 9)
  • 23. Participatory CultureParticipatory Culture  According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all teens have created media content, and roughly one- third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced.
  • 24. A Participatory Culture . . .A Participatory Culture . . .  With relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement  With strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others  With some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices  Where members believe that their contributions matter  Where members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created)
  • 25. Forms of Participatory CultureForms of Participatory Culture  Affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in online communities centered around various forms of media, such as Friendster, Facebook, message boards, metagaming, game clans, or MySpace  Expressions — producing new creative forms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups
  • 26. Forms of Participatory CultureForms of Participatory Culture  Collaborative Problem-solving — working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (such as through Wikipedia, alternative reality gaming, spoiling).  Circulations — Shaping the flow of media (such as podcasting, blogging).
  • 27. ImplicationsImplications  A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these forms of participatory culture, including:  opportunities for peer-to-peer learning,  a changed attitude toward intellectual property,  the diversification of cultural expression,  the development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship.
  • 28. ImplicationsImplications  Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement.  The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking.  These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.
  • 29. The New LiteraciesThe New Literacies  Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving  Performance — the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation and discovery  Simulation — the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real-world processes  Appropriation — the ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content
  • 30. The New LiteraciesThe New Literacies  Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to salient details.  Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities  Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with others toward a common goal  Judgment — the ability to evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information sources
  • 31. The New LiteraciesThe New Literacies  Transmedia Navigation — the ability to follow the flow of stories and information across multiple modalities  Networking — the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information  Negotiation — the ability to travel across diverse communities, discerning and respecting multiple perspectives, and grasping and following alternative norms.

  1. Tim O'Reilly is the founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, Inc., thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world, and an activist for open standards. O'Reilly Media also publishes online through the O'Reilly Network and hosts conferences on technology topics, including the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference, and the Web 2.0 Conference.
  2. We can no longer claim that the US educational results are unparalleled. Students around the world outperform American students on assessments that measure 21st century skills. Today’s teachers need better tools to address this growing concern. Innovation and creativity no longer sets US education apart. Innovators around the world rival Americans in breakthroughs that fuel economic competitiveness. Today,every student, whether he/she plans to go on to a 4-year college, trade school, or entry-level job, requires 21st century skills to succeed. We need to ensure that all students are qualified to succeed in work and life skills in this global economy. Teachers need the training to empower them to transmit these skills through their instruction.

  5. Today’s students have not just changed incrementally from those of the past, nor simply changed their slang, clothes, body adornments, or styles, as has happened between generations previously. A really big discontinuity has taken place. One might even call it a “singularity” – an event which changes things so fundamentally that there is absolutely no going back. This so-called “singularity” is the arrival and rapid dissemination of digital technology in the last decades of the 20th century.
  6. But whether or not this is literally true, we can say with certainty that their thinking patterns have changed.
  7. Some refer to them as the N-[for Net]-gen or D-[for digital]-gen. The importance of the distinction is this: As Digital Immigrants learn – like all immigrants, some better than others – to adapt to their environment, they always retain, to some degree, their "accent," that is, their foot in the past. The “digital immigrant accent” can be seen in such things as turning to the Internet for information second rather than first, or in reading the manual for a program rather than assuming that the program itself will teach us to use it. Today’s older folk were "socialized" differently from their kids, and are now in the process of learning a new language. And a language learned later in life, scientists tell us, goes into a different part of the brain.
  8. There are hundreds of examples of the digital immigrant accent. They include printing out your email (or having your secretary print it out for you – an even “thicker” accent); needing to print out a document written on the computer in order to edit it (rather than just editing on the screen); and bringing people physically into your office to see an interesting web site (rather than just sending them the URL). I’m sure you can think of one or two examples of your own without much effort. My own favorite example is the “Did you get my email?” phone call. Those of us who are Digital Immigrants can, and should, laugh at ourselves and our “accent.”

  10. To counteract the New WWW's potentially harmful impact on youth, educators must use technology to create learning experiences that are real, rich, and relevant
  11. Confronting the Challenges of a Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century -Henry Jenkins, Director of the Comparative Media Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology -The MacArthur Foundation
  12. Not every member must contribute, but all must believe they are free to contribute when ready and that what they contribute will be appropriately valued. -In such a world, many will only dabble, some will dig deeper, and still others will master the skills that are most valued within the community. -The community itself, however, provides strong incentives for creative expression and active participation. -Historically, we have valued creative writing or art classes because they help to identify and train future writers and artists, but also because the creative process is valuable on its own; every child deserves the chance to express him- or herself through words, sounds, and images, even if most will never write, perform, or draw professionally. -Having these experiences, we believe, changes the way youth think about themselves and alters the way they look at work created by others.
  13. According to a 2005 study conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all American teens—and 57 percent of teens who use the Internet—could be considered media creators. For the purpose of the study, a media creator is someone who created a blog or webpage, posted original artwork, photography, stories or videos online or remixed online content into their own new creations. Most have done two or more of these activities. One-third of teens share what they create online with others, 22 percent have their own websites, 19 percent blog, and 19 percent remix online content. Contrary to popular stereotypes, these activities are not restricted to white suburban males. In fact, urban youth (40 percent) are somewhat more likely than their suburban (28 percent) or rural (38 percent) counterparts to be media creators. Girls aged 15-17 (27 percent) are more likely than boys their age (17 percent) to be involved with blogging or other social activities online.The Pew researchers found no significant differences in participation by race-ethnicity.
  14. Access to this participatory culture functions as a new form of the hidden curriculum, shaping which youth will succeed and which will be left behind as they enter school and the workplace

  16. RSS Explained Think of subscribing via RSS as subscribing to a newspaper. Before you subscribed you had to walk/drive/roller-skate to your local news stand and buy a paper. You could do this every day, but if you forgot then that day was lost.Once you subscribed it just showed up at your door everyday. You didn't have to remember to go get it, and when a paper showed up on your doorstep you could keep it until you were done with it.In a nutshell, RSS took a media where you had to PULL the content from websites and changed it so that your favorite sites could PUSH their content to you whenever they updated. It sounds subtle, but in practice it's a big difference in convenience. It is the syndication that allows for blogs to reach the wider audiences than static web sites. Blogs and RSS have transformed information gathering – finding information is no longer a problem . . . Evaluating and extending the learning is the new drive.
  17. Homework For years there have been web-savvy teachers who posted their homework on a website for their students and parents. This can still be done with blogs, and with many services teachers can post assignments daily with no knowledge of html, css, rss, and other random combinations of letters Keep Parents in the Loop Of course parents often like to know more about what's going on in your class than just "Do #s 2-106 on page 42." A teacher's blog could become an online newsletter that discusses all kinds of notable events such as units, scans of student work, field trip information and permission slips, and more. Virtual Inservice Many teachers have decided to use their blogs as a forum for sharing their views on educational psychology, technology, and so on. Other teachers have the power to post comments in each others' blogs or even write larger responses in their own blogs. The result is a series of conversations where teachers share their knowledge and experiences with each other where everyone comes out better informed at the end. This week in class, we... Some teachers encourage students to work as a group on a single blog, resulting in a sort of online newspaper where different students work on different articles. Knowing that their audience is now not just the teacher but the entire world, students often end up going above and beyond what they would ever do if they just had to submit a report, two pages, double spaced, MLA format.Student Work Along the same lines, each student could have their own blog where they can post their assignments. The teacher and classmates could then comment on each student's work, providing concrete evidence of class participation.

  21. Blogger - http://www.blogger.com/This is a great service (owned by Google) that allows anyone to create and customize a blog. While it's designed so anyone can get started it also has enough versatility for the truly geeky to get almost everything out of it that they want. (audioblogger) Blogmeister - http://classblogmeister.com/Many blogging services are turned down by schools or teachers because adults loose a certain level of control over the students. After all, bogging students have a global forum where they can say whatever they want. With Blogmeister (from the brilliant mind of David Warlick), all student postings and comments do not go "live" to the internet unless a teacher approves them. NovemberLearning - http://nlcommunities.com/Alan November's blogging service. Used to be free for educators, but will begin charging soon. Has support for photo albums built in to it. Designed for educators, but doesn't really have any significant features tailored to using it in an educational setting (like Blogmeister) Edublogs - http://edublogs.org/James Farmer's Wordpress Multiuser offering to educators. Any teacher can get a free blog there. There are several themes to choose from. It is essentially a standard Wordpress installation, which is the blog engine of choice for many edubloggers because of it's powerful features and open source code. While the name is Edublogs, there are no features tailored specifically to using it in the educational environement. James also offers learnerblogs.org for students and uniblogs.org for university students and faculty.
  22. Podcasts can also be used as formative or summative assessments.
  23. Podcasting is a great tool in differentiating instruction.

  25. "Wiki-wiki" means "hurry quick" in Hawaiian.
  26. Import changes into an rss aggregator (bloglines)
  27. Introducing wikis into the classroom provides a perfect vehicle for reinforcing or teaching students the importance of wide and reliable research, checking authors and sources, etc. Just as podcasting and blogging provides a vehicle for instructing students in copyright and fair use guidelines.
  28. The Digital Divide Network is an online community of educators and policy makers who are seeking ways to narrow the gap between the Internet haves and have-nots.
  29. Use wikis as formats for subject guides. “The great thing about that,” she says, “is that librarians would be creating the wiki themselves in concert with teachers.” Invite students and teachers to annotate your catalog on a wiki. “To students, the best advice comes from other students,” she says. “You could have kids write book reviews you could add to the catalog.” Make wikis meeting places for communities inside the school. For example, create a wiki as a kind of bulletin board, a repository for information that comes from the cafeteria, the principal’s office, students, teachers, and even parents. Link librarians in your district in a collaborative enterprise. When teaching in North Carolina, Rob Lucas set up a model for such a site. His Teachers Lounge is a wiki where first-year teachers can share lesson plans. Farkas’s libsuccess.org is another fine model.
