While the MacArthur researchers take serious youth innovations through media and respect the meaningful role that these experiences play in young people’s social and cultural lives, they also value what teachers, parents, librarians, youth workers, and others bring to the conversation. We want to help these adults respond to the changing circumstances young people face in a period of prolonged and profound media change.
Response
I feel like youth
does not respect the role of those adults to the point of technology because we
are growing up with their changes and they are not. We spend most of our time
with technology in front of our faces and adults spend their time telling us to
get off of it or to put it away. To help them understand technology would be
helpful to them and the youth because it is becoming a form of cultural
differences in the same home. Youth lives with it and adults live to avoid it
and not understand it.
Questions
What new media literacies are associated with Wikipedia?
They have a chat section to discus the accuracy and importnats of each post. How does Wikipedia promote the development of 21st century skills?It is online and not in a book, in today's world books are online and we understand them better along with them being convenient.
Should teacher let students use Wikipedia for research purposes? Why or Why not?Yes because it is proven to be accurate as a written encyclopedic.
I agree that more conversation needs to take place between digital natives and digital immigrants!
