New Media Project at MIT
In discussing my new interests in Web 2.0 and technology my sister reminded me to check out the work of the New Media Literacies lab at MIT - and their work is so super cool. I need to re-read their white paper and check out their new teacher resource to see how this group helps teacher approach these new literacies in in a concrete way in the classroom. I think this intersection between theory and practice is a critical place to examine in my study this spring because how teachers interpret and practice theory ultimate shapes the learning students experience.

Hey Johanna
ReplyDeleteMy name is Adrienne. I am also a teacher/student (in South Africa) researching Adolescent (New) Literacies and interrelations or disjunctures with specialised forms of school knowledge. Perhaps we can share ideas (see my blog). I am also trying to integrate New Literacies into the classroom, especially via blogs. Am busy wading through mountains of theory right now in writing up Masters dissertation. How about you?
Regards
Adrienne
