Ideas from Readings that relate to Yes Philly Jaleesa Jackson
Creating Digital Media in Schools Should help students with civic engagement According to the article “Civic engagement comprises political activism, deliberation, problem solving, and participation in shaping culture.” (119, Levine)
How Does Yes Philly Use Digital Media • Every classroom has Mac computers • Everyday they use social media using digital media to learn • They offer courses that relate to creating technology while creating media
Production • “Production offers a an alternative means of addressing the issue of audience.” (174, Buckingham and Harvey) • Production in meida classrooms takes the form of simulation. • Students are required to use “artifacts” to cater to their audience.
Production @ YesPhilly • Creating video projects • Uploading them to a public blog • Their audience is other students in similar situations • Therefore, they don’t hold back as much • But there are some who keep information to themselves because they feel their audience won’t understand.
Audience In Buckingham and Harvey’s article they believe that audience is an issue when it comes to making productions. • I agree that sometimes students don’t want to share with their audience, however the students at yes Philly don’t mind sharing with classmates. It’s the people who are not familiar with their stories who they hide from.
