  1. Digital Technologies and PedagogiesEssays by Tracey M. Weis, Rina Benmajor, Cecilia Elizabeth O’Leary, andBret Eynon Social Justice: Pedagogies for Social Change Rebecca Davis HCOM 300 Presentation

  2. Overview • The article contains four separate essays written by professors. • The essays, the authors relate their personal, first-hand experiences with digital technology and how it has shaped their classrooms.

  3. Forms of Digital Technology • PowerPoint • Weis used this in African American History class to help students use historical settings to developing their own historical narrative. • Digital Stories • Definition: “a three to four minute multimedia ‘movie’ that combines an original story or script with images, music, and above all, a narration in the author’s own voice.” (Benmayor, 157) • Benmajor and O’Leary used this tool to help student connect their readings to their own lives.

  4. Forms of Digital Technology (Continued) • E-Portfolios • Definition: “A Web-based presentation of student work created by the student…[which] asks the student to analyze the meaning of their work, to reflect on it as a demonstration of their learning.” (Eynon, 165) • Eynon hopes to use this in his classrooms, along with Web pages and Discussion Boards, in order to help students compile and assess what they have learned in the classroom.

  5. The Benefits of Digital Technology • Using multiple media in order to make the material come alive for students. • Allowing students to create their own projects, thus enabling them to gain a greater understanding of the material. • Giving students a voice. • Allowing students to produce and publish their works inexpensively and creatively. • Lets students analyze personal experience under new lenses.

  6. Key Points and Theses • Digital technology provides students with a new medium that better enables them to link the material they are learning with experiences in their daily lives. • Digital technology allows students of a “visual generation” to see connections between classroom materials and their lives. • Digital technology gives the students voice and allows them to develop new theories and perspectives.

  7. Reflections • I agree that creating your own presentations does give you a better feel for the material. One author commented that it provides you with a sense of accountability, and I think that is true. • I liked the idea of using digital stories, and I think they should be used more often in our classrooms.

  8. Questions to Think About • How has digital technology impacted your learning environment? • How has CSUMB used digital technology in the classrooms? • How has this course applied the theories discussed in this article?
