PRESENTATION SUMMARY

 

The Obama administration has declared that it is their intention to bring our schools into the 21st century by helping them integrate technology into their curricula. To date, national standards for educational technology have been broad, allowing curriculum developers to address them according to their overall teaching and learning priorities, available technology resources, and level of teacher training. Simultaneously, new standards for literacy and social studies are increasingly mentioning the development of '21st century skills' among student outcomes. This environment provides ripe opportunities to bridge the core concepts of media literacy with the integration technology within the transformation of school curricula.

For the past decade Rhys Daunic and Daniel Storchan have consulted and collaborated with New York City schools to integrate media literacy and technology into traditional curricula. This presentation will demonstrate how the schools they work with are transforming curricula and school culture through integrated curriculum mapping, whole-school planning, and units of study involving digital media production. Participants will see how focused professional development has helped learning communities bridge technology and media literacy concepts with existing standards, and created interdisciplinary teachable moments to build capacity while preparing students to compete and thrive in their media-saturated world.

Wow what a great tool Dan

Wow what a great tool Dan and Rhys! It looks like PowerPoint has finally gotten a much needed face lift. The ability to switch between a sequential or freestyle presentation opens the door for in depth collaboration with your audience without struggling to find the specific slide. I only wish this tool was readily available when i was in school. Great work!
