According to Henry Jenkins why is it important to teach "new media literacies" in school?
Teaching the children to be skeptical of what they may be reading is very important. They need to know how to read critically. Students need to be aware of how the knowledge can be produced. – Henry Jenkins

What can young people learn through contributing or even consuming Wikipedia?
Students need to realize that anyone with internet access can add information to any of the Wikipedia articles. Not only can students be consumers of this knowledge, they can be producers themselves. They need to realize the history behind the information provided to them. There was a quote from a outside speaker in the video – he stated that when reading the newspaper, he wanted a discussion section so that he could read others’ views.

How do you feel about Wikipedia after reading or listening to Henry Jenkins? Do agree or disagree with his arguments? Why?
I agree with majority of his arguments. I feel that young people need to know HOW to use information technology, WHAT to use when using it, and WHY or WHY NOT the information can be trusted. While the encyclopedias are useful, they sit on the shelves and never get updated until a new set of books are purchased. I feel like Wikipedia can have edits (wrong or right); however, there can be links that one can go to for more information, as well as, other sources that can be used. Encyclopedias cannot be updated as much as Wikipedia. However, I am still skeptical about the situation – but it is all in how we teach our students to use the information.

Great online resource for Wikipedia...I didn't realize there were so many lessons you could do with it. I like the idea of comparing and contrasting a Wikipedia article with a scholarly article. Also, I like the idea of using Wikipedia to learn about copyright issues. This is a great resource for teachers wanting to use Wikipedia in their classroom.
ReplyDeleteI like the image that you found. It really would make someone rethink the validity of Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteI wish more and more people would accept Wikipedia. I know it isn't reliable, but with many people filtering through it, the information should be somewhat accurate. Plus it could give individuals a sense of knowing what is true and false.
ReplyDeleteGreat graphic about wikipedia, so informative. It's such a great way to communicate ideas in a multi-modal approach, using visuals with and as language.
