I went to the brown bag seminar yesterday. The seminar was ...
"The world of wikis, blogs, tweets, YouTube video, Google Earth, iPods and smart phones, new literacies is changing the way students learn and process information in the classroom. At this month's Brown Bag Lunch Series we will discuss how new technology is changing the concept of literacy and how tools can be used to engage students."
The presentation of Dr. Clyde Bentley was impressive. He argued that educators do not need to teach college students technology itself, but they might ask students to interact with each other with new technologies. He said that the interaction is the most important characteristic of new technologies. He showed some examples of educational use of Blog and E-mail. His journalism school students in MU shared ideas with students in Europe and published news of European pop culture in a blog (EuroKulture). The Blog is very interesting. You may want to visit the website.
