My Digital Story


In keeping with the theme of this blog, I took some time to speak to some children on campus and ask their opinions regarding the use of technology and social change. When asked what they'd like to change about the world, the three had very different answers, and very different means of using tech to raise awareness about their topic and create change. Short video-- my own version of the digital story (which took me something like six hours to complete after putzing around with imovie!)-- hope you enjoy!

Getting Started

In our technological age, our perception of literacy is in constant flux. As forms of technology and communication evolve, our own media literacy must be malleable as well.
In what ways are we now able to connect and communicate? How can technology serve as a powerful platform to engage an audience? To enable student cooperation and participation? To enact social change-- in your school, your community, your country, your world? In what was has it already done so? How do you see technology affecting social change in the future-- specifically for students growing in the digital age?
