New Media Literacies Project

Media is something everyone needs to deal with our society and functional in everyday life. New media has enhanced youngster's social skills and allowed them to become full participants in society. We still continue to develop an understanding of the digital world. Most new media have to introduce novels and unexpected kinds of social differences,subculture, and identities. Further more, as we progress in the future there will be more advanced media regardless of the situation.

The New Media Literacies: by the NML Staff

The show explains how everyone needs to use those topics in many ways. I think that those words are put and used in everyday life. Society day incorporate by those words and allows people to further their learning ability.Yes, it is the 21st century skills that will be needed effective artist, citizens and workers. We as humans see the future advancing high.But when the 21st century arrive, we as humans will have invented something else for effective artist,citizens and workers. I agree with all of the skills,but my favorite one was play. Play allows people to interact with the environment and our surroundings. Also,with play people can open up to many variable to a solutions.

Richard E. Miller; This is how we dream: Part 2

At the beginning of part 2 was very graphic! When it first showed the whale, my thoughts were,what is that! Thank goodness the presentation went straight into another slide show! I love how he explain, how we educators should share our ideas as individual freely! I totally agree with that statement. If no one ever shared their knowledge then, how can anyone individual learn anything new. He explains how been open minded and freely sharing ones thoughts got him somewhere. Once again, I like where he going is with this statement,"We educators should share our ideas as individual freely". I also like the many ideas that he has explored! He has some really great ideas and thoughts!

Richard E. Miller;This is how we dream:Part 1

I like how he used his presentation and it was straight to the point. This assignment was the first that had a part of black history. I was amused when I watched the presentation. Yes,it did explain new technology,but this is what the class is about. But it had many other features in the presentation that fit alone with the new technology. What I am saying is that, this presentation used old to new technology in a different way then the other assignment.

IPods instructions,Duke University usage for IPods

I can not believe how this college got their students ipods! I would love for South to upgrade me with a new ipod! I am sure every student will strongly agree! Duke University is really cool in my eye sight, regardless if they are using the ipod for school reasons. If any college gave me an ipod I would respect it and do my assignment alone with other things!! Mainly this college gave information on how iPod usage was used in their environment. My understanding of the information I read,was that many students like the iPod usage at the college and thought it was very helpful for the benefit. The college students used it for communication, academics, foreign language and many more topics. Ipod was very helpful and used in many different fields at Duke University.

iTunes U

I think iTunes will be helpful towards students and teachers. iTunes is free to the public and provides many advantage to explore. People could use iTunes on their computer and many other divce that can be download. iTunes comes with audio and video that allows viewer to enjoy their view better. Students can watch lectures for an class assignment or for fun. Podcasting is for audio recording and vodcast is to record a video. Most students in Gholamreza Tashbin class like video recording better. Video record allows people to watch other people and students get to make their own video as well.

Many different University and musems use iTunes U for their source. That allows many to use iTunes U for different ways of usage. iTune U helps people learn more then they know about a subject. iTunes U allow people to download music,knowlegde and many more. U could benefit from iTune U in many aspect. Alot of things are been add on to iTunes U daily,so there will not be anything left behind.

Dr. Christie's Web Design Resources for Educators

This site will be great for teachers, because of many resources it has to offer! It gives teachers ideas and creativty to bring into a classroom. Allowing teachers to use different sources will bring them back to Dr. Christie's web design plenty of times. This design has animation,clip art warehouse,image paradise and tips to improve a website. I also read in this site where it has a link to add background to a object. I used color as my background in a presentation to show in class. The bakcground color kept fellow classmates entertain. Using background in a presenation will not only keep viewers entertain,but focused on the subject.

In todays society technolgy will be important in every teacher's classroom. Teachers will need a great site to fall back on for information and I think this site will make a big difference. This site explains steps very precise and accurate. I like how the site explains how to improve the little things that make a difference. Making one mistake on a page could turn the entire process into something very huge. Having a back up plan always make a difference in every matter.
