In the Media Literacy and Visual Culture: Teaching Art in a Digital Age course, students are asked to engage in deep thinking around what it means to be media literate and to strategize ways in which they might involve their students in developing critical thinking skills in our media saturated environments. To build strategies and reflective practices for media literacy, students create a blog to record their research, thinking and good ideas from the semester. These blogs serve as public interfaces and platform for sharing learning and being actively engaged in contemporary, participatory, and visual culture.
Some examples of student blogs:
