HOW to Integrate ICTs De-construct: (Read Media) Media

Literacy Activities (deconstructing webpages, news, advertisement, and newspapers; POV (point of view) exercise, etc.)

Research: (Use Media) Information Literacy (Library Skills, researching internet resources, etc.)

Construct: (Write Media) Media Production (Create an oral history project, video documentary, website, webquest, weblog, and multimedia presentation)

As we enter the twenty first century, it is essential that the schools be places that help students better understand the complex, symbol-rich culture in which they live in.

A new vision of literacy is essential if educators are serious about the broad goals of education: preparing students to function as informed and effective citizens in a democratic society; preparing students to realize personal fulfillment; and preparing students to function effectively in a rapidly changing world that demands new, multiple literacies.

Renee Hobbs, 1997

It is no longer enough to simply read and write. Students must also become literate in the understanding of visual images. Our children must learn how to spot a stereotype, isolate a social cliché and distinguish facts from propaganda, analysis from banter, important news from coverage.

Ernest Boyer

Media Education is both essential to the exercising of our democratic rights and a necessary safeguard against the worst excesses of media manipulation for political purposes.

Len Masterman

The aim is to develop an awareness about print and the newer technologies of communications so that we can orchestrate them, …. And get the best out of each in the educational process.

Without understanding of media languages and grammars, we cannot hope to achieve a contemporary awareness of the world in which we live.

Marshall McLuhan

A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflection, not an invitation to hypnosis.

Umberto Eco (l979)

the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.

The "V" for victory that Winston Churchill used (with the palm facing outward, same as the American sign for "peace"), when the palm is reversed, it means something else... If a person used two fingers to order two beers in a British pub.. it has insulting connotations…

What this results tell us?BLAME somebody or something

No parent involvement?

Too much TV/ New media

No enough reading

Or question the data?

Who did the research?

Who sponsored it?

Who were the participants?

We may simply say language evolves?

Today, can we read and understand old English ?

We may also argue that our students are not learning another language…

Conclusion ‘Today, a confluence of events is creating the

perfect storm for significantly advancing education. With a growing inventory of openly available educational tools and resources, and with an increasingly engaged and connected community, transformative opportunities for education abound.

The good news is that the emerging open education movement in higher education and beyond is beginning to change the way educators use, share, and improve educational resources and knowledge by making them open and freely available.’ (Iiyoshi & Kumar 2008:2)

William Blake - Auguries of Innocence

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

Developing Global Competence

Global competence is the capacity and disposition to understand, and act on, issues of global significance.
