What I really took away
from the text reading, the video Journalism Revived, as well as the articles on
Authentic Learning, and Place-Based Education is that it is incredibly important
that students gain real world experience and knowledge, and that they gain the
critical thinking skills and motivation needed to shift through the fast array
of information available in the digital age.
Students how have the
ability to look up information on any subject at any time with modern
technology. This however comes with a price. Misinformation is abundant on the
internet, and being able to connect information is key for our students to
determine what is newsworthy, and how to understand it better.
In the Journalism Revived
video Sarah Stuteville talked about how her and her friends went out and
traveled the world to hear and tell these stories, and then they brought all
the experience and knowledge back with them and put it into the community with
their students program that teaches students to create digital media messages,
and tell their own personal stories.
Authentic learning ties
into Stutesville’s students learning program because that’s exactly what the
students do. The students use the hands on skills they learn in this program
and us them to tell high quality, personal digital stories, be it on a local
level, national, or a global event. Place based education ties in with all of
this because it gives students real world skills and experience within their
own community.
