Consequently, this Spring I collaborated with the most wonderful UK organization, MediaSnackers, to develop a pro bono online training for new media that was delivered to two groups in the Pacific Islands. My particular piece was the section, “New Media LIteracy” (posted above). DK at MediaSnackers deserves most of the credit for getting the program together and putting it out there, but I was quite happy to do my little piece. The project is now available under a CreativeCommons license for anyone who wants to use it. Go to this link for all the relevant course materials.
Because I’ve become a lazy intellectual, I’m quite happy to let the Net think on my behalf (OK, only sometimes). In any case, Think : Lab wrote a great summary of our project:
Project aims:
* give participants an understanding of online platforms and technology for use with young people and in their own professional development
* enable and empower through a supportive process of practical and immersive learning approaches
* have fun.Good on ‘em for the “have fun” goal, too!
The good stuff re: sharing great content:
All course content is available under the Creative Commons license which enables other organisations and young people to participate in the course themselves, remix or embellish upon it (as long as they provide us with credit/link).
