1. Now that you have finished the course, what is your stance on your role as an educator of Digital and Media Literacy? Has this changed from the beginning of the course?
As a technology instruction coordinator and former teacher, my stance on education of digital and media literacy was always strong. However, this course did change my background knowledge in research about digital and media literacy, which is now solid. I believe the articles and research you've provided throughout this course was very useful and realistic. The data and infographics were also great sources for my own education, as well as sharing the pieces with educators I work with. 2. How can you continue growing as an educator of Digital and Media Literacy? I can continue exploring the resources my peers shared with me, and continue reading the updates and blogs. I can continue to connect with my PLN on digital and media literacy. I have a great group of people in the education field who post on digital and media literacy and I've learned a lot from them. If you are interested in following me and connecting, please search @ShadSalem on Twitter! Different topics on digital and media literacy are updated in Common Sense Media, so I will keep reading new topics as they arise. The current topic is on News and Media Literacy. 3.Overall, what will you take away from this course? The biggest take away from this course are the resource pages that my peers and I shared. It was a great idea to keep it all in one place and will be an amazing reference throughout our careers. Another great take away were the research articles that you've shared, from the introductory ones on digital and literacy media to the more specific and extensive articles. These articles were not only beneficial for my own background knowledge, but some of them I will use pieces of when working with teachers. Whenever I lead Professional Learning Communities or Professional Development sessions I like to share pieces of research that support what I am teaching. The articles you've provided us with were perfect to share with teachers. Thank you.
