improving reading, writing and critical thinking skills with media
DESCRIPTION
Interested in helping students become better readers, writers, and critical thinkers? We need to “play with media” to become more effective communicators and improve our media literacy skills as both learners and citizens. As you learn to play with digital text, images, audio and video, you will communicate more creatively and flexibly with a wider variety of options. Author and educator Wesley Fryer will inspire and empower you, as a creative person, to expand your personal senses of digital literacy and digital agency as a multimedia communicator! (This presentation was shared for teachers in Yukon Public Schools, Oklahoma, on January 16, 2012, for a district professional development conference.)TRANSCRIPT

“27 people took the time to leave a
comment on Jarrod’s blog post.”
“The next morning, Jarrod’s mum emailed me: “You should have seen Jarrod’s face when he saw his post this morning,
he was so excited!””
