1.
What impressed you most about young people's engagement with creative
production?
Its
interesting to me to see how popular digital media aka YouTube has gotten. Students
have gotten so creative with the productions that they are constantly working
on. Students are able to leave feedback for each
other. Sometimes not so positive
feedback.
2. What
concerns do you have about young people posting content online? I think that
they do a lot of impulse posting. They don’t
really think it through before they have already posted photos and comments
that could hurt themselves or someone else.
3. Do you
think most school policy toward student use of the Internet is reactionary or a
necessary evil? I think that if teachers would embrace the online creative
learning concept and stay on top of the
situation that they would not have to have such a strict internet policy. Students would need to be aware of their
consequences if they do not follow the rules.
But I think that if they were encouraged to work creatively online that
there would be less instances of violations where the internet is concerned.
4. How
might teachers' capitalize on student's interest in creative production with
digital media? Teachers should consider
having students create projects where they are putting the final project on You
Tube. I think they would really take a
personal interest into the subject matter just to try and out do their
peers.
5. Link
to an online lesson plan, article, blog post video or podcast that is an
example of student engagement in creative production with digital media for
school related purposes.
I like your realization that if teachers were more comfortable with social media and digital media we might not need such restrictive Internet policies at school!
