Double Entry Journal #12

Quote- "Students understand that they need to have these skills in order to exist in this world, so they're way ahead of us. Most kids relate to each other through music or graphics. They are regularly bombarded with images and sound. Most of their awareness comes through the language of moving images and cinema. That's why it's so important that they learn the language of it."

Reaction-  Media is what the world revolves around these days. Media is a way of entertaining but it is also a way of learning. I know that every student I know usually focuses on what the media has to say. Instead of going against media , we should influence it. Yes media can sometimes be used for the bad but that doesnt mean has to be. Us as teachers need to teach the students how to use the language of media in a way for learning.
