Toward New Media Texts
This article talks about teachers who don't feel comfortable using various types of media in the classrooms and ways that a teacher and student can benefit from using media. Selfe also said that many teachers are not incorporating media in their classrooms because they lack familiarity with all of the most recent media. There are several strategies that are mentioned in the chapter for integrating media into the classroom.
Unfortunately, have never seen any type of digital literacy being used in my clinical experience this semester. There are 5 computers in the classroom and the teacher has access to the Internet, instead of using it for education purposes my teacher was using it to search for cocktail umbrellas. There are so many ways to use the Internet inside the classroom and unfortunately her students have never had the chance to experience it.I feel that if teachers have some type of digital media in their classroom, then the school should make them attend seminars and workshops to provide detailed instruction on how to integrate it in their classrooms.
If I had not grown up with a computer and had access to different forms of technology then I would not be as familiar or as comfortable with technology as I am today. Introducing technology to students at such a young age is extremely important in this day and age. I feel that allowing students to use technology in the classroom will help them become more comfortable with technology.
