81. From Media Literacy To Multimedia Essay reforms associated with the rise of literacy and the University of Art and Design(media Lab) it much more straight forward to teach technological competence http://www.mlab.uiah.fi/~jukkay/texts/mystory.htm

From media literacy to multimedia essay -Preliminary case study on Ulmer’s Mystory genre The basic starting point of this essay is to ask: what is audiovisual thinking? The rise of audiovisual media culture has prompted educators to develop strategies for media literacy but at the same time university level education seems to the most part ignore audiovisual expression as means of communication and publication of scientific knowledge. From that perspective “media literacy” is a limited project focusing on pedagogy mainly for youth in helping to create “critical autonomy” as a “defence mechanism”. As Elizabeth Thoman founder of Center for Media Literacy puts it: ”goal must be to help people become competent, critical and literate in all media forms so that they control the interpretation of what they see and hear rather than the interpretation control them”. I believe that what makes true media literacy is not just ability to read but includes also the ability ‘write’ media. In this essay I will limit my considerations to the visual side of audio-visuality and conduct an experiment of writing with an image. If there is such a thing as audiovisual thinking or visual thinking, it should be possible to conduct philosophy with images. I am not proposing a style of thinking devoid of verbal expression, after all the context of this experiment is digital multimedia, which makes possible composition of images, texts, sounds, video and animation (to name the most basic media elements). Audiovisual communication revolution has not yet happened

JULY 11, 2003 current issue back issues subscribe Download Interaction To Upgrade Institutionalized Judaism By DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF The emergence of the Internet a decade ago promised to do for media what Judaism did millennia earlier for religion: turn our understanding of the world from a vision received into a vision negotiated. Both cyberspace's networkers and Israel's God-wrestlers have sought to turn top-down affairs into participatory ones. Instead of passively listening to the stories of our programmers, they are empowered to write and share their own. I'm a media theorist. It's what I teach, what I write about and pretty much the way I see the world. As a witness to the emergence of the Internet during the early 1990s, I had a front-row seat to its revolutionary impact on the way we create and disseminate meaning. I became one of interactive media's most outspoken advocates. Having been one of the first to announce the arrival of the new media age, it's been a sobering experience, even a humbling one, to see the reality of what the interactive revolution has become. The early Internet offered people the opportunity to speak to one another through technologies that had once been the territory of the wealthy and powerful. Any kid with a keyboard could get online and write in text just as large as a successful businessman or university professor. To understand the crisis of the media, start by considering how the new media began: with the magic of television. A television program is a magical act. We sense that intuitively. Whoever has gotten his image into that box, we presume, must be special.

KIDSNET MEDIA NEWS: Media Literacy AAP Statement Of Policy On Media Education The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued an official statement of policy on the importance of media education. The policy includes brief statements on the amount of time spent with the media; the impact of media violence on aggressive behavior; sexual content in the media; tobacco and alcohol; effects of media on obesity and school performance; and the value of media education. The abstract for the statement is given below; the full text may be read at the AAP's website. Abstract: The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that exposure to mass media (i.e., television, movies, video and computer games, the Internet, music lyrics and videos, newspapers, magazines, books, advertising, etc) presents both health risks and benefits for children and adolescents. Media education has the potential to reduce the harmful effects of media. By understanding and supporting media education, pediatricians can play an important role in reducing the risk of exposure to mass media for children and adolescents.

Media Literacy in the Classroom By Barbara Tomlin Media Education has been called the perfect curriculum: it's timely, it's multidisciplinary, it's easily assimilated in the classroom, and it promotes critical thinking skills. Rick Shepherd, Association for Media Literacy W505 Home Page Student Work Page Methods Links to Artifacts ... Resources My inquiry centered around a concern for the impact of media on students. My questions are: What is the concept of media literacy and where is it taught? Why is media literacy important and is it important to our students? Why do students need to be media literate? Is media literacy interdisciplinary? Should I become a media educator? My questions were based on my experiences working in the media as a journalist, both in the States and abroad in the Middle East and an interest in how it would be taught in a way that would engage students and allow them to explore and ask their own questions about the mass media and how it affects them. One reason that I am so interested in media literacy is because I see it as a concept which in its best questioning mode, media literacy is active and participatory and encourages students to take more initiative for their own learning. It is collaborableive learning and aims to offsets not only critical intelligence, but critical autonomy and understanding of the media. Producing videos, advertisements and other media messages are all part of media literacy.
