Presenter: Dr. Jason Ohler
Date: November 03, 2011
Session Overview
Join Jason Ohler, professor, speaker, writer, teacher and cyber researcher as CILC kicks off its Leadership Spotlight Series! Jason is a lifelong digital humanist who is well known for the passion, insight and humor he brings to his presentations. He is a passionate promoter of "Art the Next R" and of combining innovation, creativity and digital know-how. He has won numerous awards for his work and is the author of many books and articles,including his current book, Digital Community, Digital Citizen.
In this 60 minute webinar, Jason will explore some of the key issues that define leading and learning in the digital age: digital literacy, new media participation and digital citizenship. Without digital literacy, digital citizenship is not possible. Therefore, we need to help students become truly literate by helping them become active media creators, critical media consumers and engaged digital citizens. This includes helping them cultivate their new media talents, adopt art as the 4th R and use research and narrative to convey their ideas in rich, compelling ways.
We need to help students create media stories and projects that are articulate, academically sound and transformative so they can collaborate and share their work and talent within the community of the social web. Above all, we need to help them learn how to use their tools to imagine the world they want to create, as students, workers, neighbors, citizens. This presentation includes examples of student media production and digital citizenship projects and is based on Jason's books.
Come join the fun and explore. If you know, are or work with students, you need to join this session!
