The community interest in the Fox school job creation, involvement, environmental protection, safety and truthful communication.

Associate Superintendent Mary Jo Conery presented the proposed revisions to the district’s current policy, regulation and exhibit on technology resources. Dr. Conery provided information on the proposed additions, deletions, and/or revisions to update the language and provide elaboration on the acceptable use of movies and video content. Revisions to the policy include minor changes in wording and recognition of copyright laws and licensing agreements. Dr. Conery provided information on the Federal Copyright Act, which governs how copyrighted materials, may be used. Recommended revisions to regulation IJND-R limits the ratings of movies and video content that can be shown for instructional proposes. Exhibit IJND-E was presented with minor changes

In 2008, a diverse group of professionals including filmmakers, educators, publishers, and researchers agreed on a set of best practices for media literacy education. This code of best practices says that educators can make copies of digital media; embed copyrighted material into curriculum documents; share, sell, and distribute that material; use copyrighted works to create new material and distribute that work digitally if it is transformative. Once again, these are not laws. They are simply another set of guidelines to help us determine if our use of copyrighted digital material is fair.

The second subject to be added into the curriculum would be Multi-Media studies. This subject will reflect today’s society and teach skills that are needed due the growth of technology (Wise 2000; Bazalgette 2010). Multi-Media studies would involve aspects of other subjects such as I.C.T, music, business and technology, thus allowing for cross curricular work to take place (Howard,

The elementary library media websites will also need to be redone this year. The middle school and high school LMCs also now have a subscription to LibGuides and the middle school and high school websites need to be updated as well. My plan is to make the middle school and high school websites more up-to-date and user friendly with LibGuides. I plan on making the websites the place where students, parents, and teachers can go to become effective and efficient independent researchers and users of 21st century skills. The library media curriculum at the elementary libraries also needs to be updated so it continues to be aligned with the Common Core standards. The library media curriculum will also need to be aligned to the new Wisconsin Information and Technology

When it comes to schools and evaluations, most people would think of student evaluations like the end-of-course exams or the ACT or the ever controversial teacher performance evaluations. There could be a more important evaluation system than these, however, because this evaluation can directly affect both teacher and student performance and as such, the overall rating of the school: the assessment of the school library media center. School libraries have been given a lofty order. According the U.S. Department of Education’s Evaluation and Selection of Learning Resources, it should be the library’s goal to “provide an instructional program and learning sources that promote the enjoyment of reading and enable learners to become critical and creative thinkers as well as effective users of information in all formats”. To reach this mandate, library media specialists should maintain both a formative and summative evaluation system that details not only how the materials and resources in the library are fulfilling the needs of their particular district, but also how the librarian is utilizing their unique role within the school culture to promote curriculum development and support.

The focus of their article was on “new” technologies of communication in the English classroom” (McCorkle and Palmeri 18). In their research, they coded 311 articles about “moving image media,” which includes movies, television, and videos. They had five key elements they found in researching 100 years of articles. The first was that English has engaged with media in teaching (starting with the radio) for almost 90 years and has been about more than just books.  The second was that student engagement has been connected to “new media” in the writing classroom. The third was that creating media has become part of English education. The fourth was the notion that any time we use “new” media in the classroom, it creates opportunities for students to be innovative. The final point was how integral the computer has become in English education (McCorkle and Palmeri, 9). With these five factors, it is easy to see how film and gamification can play a huge role in the freshman composition classroom: it engages students, it helps them produce their own media, it helps them to be innovative and it has been around and continues to be a part of the world we live

Digital media allows students to be well prepared and start learning the way 21st century should be learning. In the article, “Paperless Education,” stated “The old model is really outdated…Student’s need not only content knowledge, but they need 21st-century skills. And they need to be self-directed in their learning.” (Grace Magley, director of online Learning for the Natick Public schools.) According to the article, Paperless Education, students are required to focus on the skills of 21st century than focusing on something that take place before that. Student’s in the 21st century should start doing what 21st century offer, instead of going back and try to do it per the old ages. Students should take advantages of what’s being offer in front

This assignment has been designed to plan and produce a twelve week scheme of work in association with Unit 1: BTEC ND e-Media Production course. The course is designed to develop learners’ skills and knowledge in reading, analysing and deconstructing of e-media.

Integrating smartphones and mobile technology in the classroom could create a deeper bond between teachers and students. For example, interactive games on a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or a similar device has the potential to teach both groups, students and teachers. The interactive games could teach students different fragments of the curriculum and could teach educators how to operate technology in a swifter way without frustration (Gutierrez, 2012). Reaching out to the youth in multiple ways, such as media connections, establishing a bond, and encouraging each positive step they make, is necessary for the proper development of generations of today and future generations (Seider, 2012). Just as the distribution of “equal weight” to moral, performance, and civic character, the incorporation of a media literacy course in the classroom, no

Using popular culture in the subject demands some knowledge of current technology and in using media properly in the classroom. The teacher

Information literacy in individuals' lives has traditionally valued quality of life and the pursuit of happiness; however, these goals are increasingly difficult to achieve because of the complexities of life in today's information and technology dependent society. The cultural and educational opportunities available in an average community, for example, are

The New Media Consortium is a world-wide expert community concerned with educational technology. Their role is to help our all sorts of educational institutions to incorporate and improve innovative technologies. The ‘NMC Horizon Report Preview’ provides summaries of trends, challenges, and important developments in educational technology (NMC Horizon Report Preview 2015 K-12 Edition, 2015).

Digital media has had a large influence on the field of education. Two examples of this can be seen in the way it has changed the way students are able to express themselves and the way it has enabled more collaboration between teams. Before digital media, an educator or student’s presentation on a subject might consist of a lecture, a report, a poster board or something else along those lines. The “elaborate” ones might include photos and/or graphs. However, digital media brought a lot of change to these options. An educator or student doing a presentation has the option of PowerPoint presentations, videos, slideshows, creating web pages and so much more. Not only does a person involved in education get an opportunity to express themselves better and in a more personalized fashion, the amount of information that can be shared is greatly increased. A student or educator can fully delve into a topic and make it come alive for her/his audience while educating them.

New information is being uncovered day by day throughout the world. This is a statement I can declare with utter confidence. People around the world are researching and discovering new things just about every moment. Now living in the Technological Era, developed countries, or anybody with access to the internet, has a plethora of informational databases available at their fingertips. Technology has opened up a world of knowledge. Why are we not taking full advantage of this? The knowledge we can obtain from media is limitless. In order to be fully literate in this era, one needs to obtain knowledge on how to correctly use media. It is crucial to the well being of society that media literacy be included in the United States’ school
