Media Matters
“Media Matters” at UMass Boston
On Wednesday, Danielle and I presented a workshop at UMass Boston titled, “Blogs: The 5th Estate: Opening The Gates For Diverse Perspectives” at the Media Matters: Writing Conference for High School Teachers and Teens.
The conference was sponsored by The Boston Globe, UMass Boston, Project: Think Different, and WriteBoston.
We had a great discussion about citizen media and how students and teachers of journalism could use blogging, podcasting, and videoblogging inside and outside the classroom to enhance learning.
We also played a few minutes of the CCTV’s Project Documentary video, “Citizen Journalism: From Pamphlet to Blog” available over at blip.tv.
Danielle posted notes from our workshop on the ACMEBoston blog here and here. You can also check out the lovely presenter gifts we received on her blog here.
