One of the aspects of New Media that I most admire is that it enables the spread of free knowledge. There is so much information out there that anyone can review, respond and absorb. It’s also great that New Media lends more to visual and audio learners which makes it a wonderful way to teach diversely in the classroom. Here are some examples of this from one of my favorite Video blogs called Rocketboom:
Old video games, Ancient games, faulty voting machines and much much more.
The art of Reasoning
There are some great New Media concepts in this video. Joann transfers text book knowledge into video form and then adds various media clips to further explain logic and reasoning.
Net Nuetrality
“Call your congress person, Sign the Petition, Make media about it!”
Rocketboom also has a long running “Know your Meme” series, if you’re into that sort of thing. You can truly learn anything out there and Rocketboom is just one small example.
