Media Education/Literacy

Hi. I'm not sure whether I'm hitting up the right group for information, but I've been charged with creating a Communication Application/Speech class for our very small, new school. This will be a year long class that should incorporate some speech and debate, but my AP would also like to see some Media Literacy in the class, as well. I'm having trouble creating a clear scope and sequence that incorporates ALL these things. I was hoping some of you out there might have some ideas on how to incorporate all of this into a cohesive, comprehensive class.

Lindsay, this is cool - if you have a minute could you copy and paste that comment into the discussion forum for new media & Tech? Thanks for sharing - it looks like a cool tool!

I've been playing around with the website www.wallwisher.com


I post a question on a wall that I create, and then I give the URL to my students and they respond on computer "post-its." They include their name and 160character response. This is a great way to start the class, or sometimes I use it as an exit slip.


The key is waiting until everyone has finished replying, then hit the refresh key and all the responses will show up at once, rather than revealing some responses before others.

Hey Lindsay, if you have a minute would you mind taking that video and posting it above in the discussion forum so it does not get lost. Great short. BTW here is a website that explains how to embed TED video!

Thanks for sharing! Ryan

recent Ted find that I thought was amazing and something really powerful for students: it could be used as inspiration or to address the "power of words"

Joy over in the music group is looking for songs to teach with media literacy.

Specifically, she's looking for songs that deal with:
Advertising
Body Image
Obesity
Internet
Video Games
Attention/Cognition
Educational media
Sexuality
Alcohol
Drugs

I'm thinking Jon Chase solo would have to be able to recommend like 5 bazillion tracks - with awesome student created videos!

Hopefully, some of you folks can lend her some ideas!
