Media Studio course
The Media Studio course will be an exciting series of discussions and research about literacy and media in its historical and contemporary contexts. There will be some readings throughout the course. These readings are meant to provide theoretical frameworks for our study of new media practices so that we might all acquire a better gauge for understanding how these new media act as important sites for literacy practices and how they might be harnessed for implementation in schools.
Exceptional Progress
The purposes of the Media Studio course are both theoretical and practical. Students will be provided with a scholarly foundation in both traditional academic approaches to literacy and how those approaches have changed with the current research in media, cognition, and schooling. In addition, students will work collaboratively and collectively to build their knowledge in how these media are created, used, interpreted, and re-used by themselves and others. As a result of this course, students will have a firm grasp on not only the treatments and relationships of literacy and new media in learning and communications contexts but also concrete experiences with the production and use of them.
