“Teaching, Learning and Leading for Today and Tomorrow” Title:
Presenter: Location:
Making Connections: Experiments in Learning in New Media Environments Michael Wesch Auditorium
Description: The new media environment can be disruptive to our current teaching methods and philosophies. As we increasingly move toward an environment of instant and infinite information, it becomes less important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and more important for them to be able to find, sort, analyze, share, discuss, critique, and create information and knowledge. They need to move from being simply knowledgeable to being knowledge-able. This “knowledge- ability” is not simply a skill set as implied by the “21st Century Skills” movement , but a way of being-in-the-world in which people recognize and actively examine, question, and even re-create the
(increasingly digital) structures that shape our world. Target Audience: All Educators. Title:
