According the 2011 Horizon Report, teacher preparation programs are only just beginning to fold digital media literacy skills into coursework for students. Per the report, “The challenge is exacerbated by the fact that the digital technologies morph and change quickly at a rate that generally outpaces curriculum development.” This session will demonstrate how one instructor not only embraces the challenge of staying current with digital technologies but builds his courses around it, keeping them fresh from one semester to the next. With a textbook to provide supplemental content, seventeen years of classroom experience (K-16), and an insatiable hunger for free innovative technologies, the presenter will share how he stays current with emerging digital technologies and how at the conclusion of his courses, his students leave with a better understanding of how to access, analyze, create, and utilize Digital Media Literacy Skills with thoughtfulness and social responsibility.
