Brainstorming Final Project

1."Teaching digital media literacy is important for students to be able to make connections from the abstract to the real." 

2.Digital story telling assists students in the workforce by allowing them to have familiarity with technology and serving as a bridge between school and work."

3. Digital lessons can be facilitated by using teaching blogs,  video sites such as teacher tube, and other online websites related to the content. 

4. Digital media is everywhere but there can be issues with using it due to complexities or other factors. 

5.  I encourage students to be informational thinkers. 

6. "When digital and media literacy educators begin to see themselves as a learning community, it becomes obvious that there is a set of shared ideas that unify their interests in teaching, and learning." (Hobbs, 55). 

I plan on using the above quotes from the weekly readings combined with others to summarize what I learned in this class. 

I discovered that while I am rather adept at teaching digital media literacy, that there are techniques to teaching dml that will ensure that all students are engaged in the learning process. 

I enjoyed this class and the new ideas that I took away from it in relation to teaching digital media literacy.
