Media Literacy - Week 10

 From Duncum's article answer the following questions:

 What do you think about the focus of the paper? How does it relate to this course?

"the transformation of art education from an exclusive interest in fine art to embrace the much broader concept of visual culture"
To be honest, some of the content in the paper was hard for me to grasp. When the writer moved onto the lesson and the discussions he had with students it started to make more sense and I feel like the concepts he was discussing were interesting and appropriate considering the state of popular and visual culture.

Do you  agree with Duncum when he states:  " The structure of visual culture and a visual culture curriculum is rhizomatic." " visual culture operates as a rhizome." Why or why not?

Again, none of this made sense when I read it until he made his way to the lesson and started to talk about conversations with students and how they started from one big idea that then narrowed down a bit more and then branched out, reminded me of "mind maps".

 From the website review,  answer the following questions:

4. This site contains much information and many links to external sources (video, web, etc).

What information do you find valuable on this site, as a visual consumer and  as an art educator?

5. Of all the linked lesson plans and video content, select one (note it/hyperlink in your post) and describe how you would use it in your classroom. This page has links to lessons by age range. (https://www.frankwbaker.com/mlc/popular-visual-culture/)

From the spotweb.pdf answer the following questions:

6. How could you use the content of this media literacy primer for a lesson/unit in your classroom? It would definitely be cool to use as an example for a project about advertising and marketing, maybe having students create their own brochure for an artist or to make a brochure they could use as a portfolio to show off their own work.

From the Adobe Education Exchange Website:

7. Search the site (Abode Education exchage). https://edex.adobe.com/

From the Adobe Education Exchange, Select 2 lessons on Media Literacy from for 2 different age groups and describe how you would use those lessons in your future classroom. (link lesson on your Blog post)
Would you consider collaborating with other teachers on a media literacy unit? (art teacher, english, social studies, etc)

https://edex.adobe.com/teaching-resources/IengMIC_x - This one seems a little more complex, junior or senior high school level students could probably handle the content the creator covers in this lesson. Speaks a lot about Media Literacy, Mass Media and the influence of social media on the general public. 

https://edex.adobe.com/teaching-resources/NcCxPFIop - High school level, similar vibes to the one above but a lot less detailed. Could probably be used together?

I think collaborating with a social studies teacher could be interesting, talking about the history of technology, computers and social media.
