Greening a Digital Media Course

[Antonio Lopez]

I just posted a case study on how to green a digital media course. I hope some of you find it interesting or inspiring. You can read it at the USC Annenberg New Media Literacies Website.

I agree with Natasa and I think that the discussion that you are encouraging is a necessary one and one that I am contemplating often in a dualistic sense-- just moving out of the dualistic nature of my thinking on this is a challenge. I love your incorporation of The Gods Must Be Crazy trailor-- I DO think of this film i relationship to our present day "needs" in terms of digital technoloy. I have shown it to my students in the past and you are reminding me that is a valuable tool in opening up the thinking around this for students. There is also the issue about the genocide in the DRC over rare earths.

www.enoughproject.org William Powers addresses some of Natasa's issues in his book "Hamlet's Blackberry".

Outstanding work, Antonio, in putting this together in a way to help us wrap our brains around entering the discussion.

Thank you! DIanna

Thanks Dianna. I hope to keep clarifying and making the concepts more accessible to a wider audience. Now, if I can media literacy folks to get interested, that will be a big breakthrough!
