Description of Current Work:
Project New Media Literacies’ central goal is to engage educators and learners in today’s participatory culture. It is our belief that young people need to both make and reflect upon media and in the process, acquire important skills in team work, leadership, problem solving, collaboration, brainstorming, communications, and creating projects.
In Development... NML is currently creating tools to engage learners in a multiple of learning environments including:
The Learning Library, Teacher’s Strategy Guides, Reading in a Participatory Culture, and Mapping Media Ethics Casebook (in collaboration with Howard Gardner’s GoodPlay Project)
