Founder, Focused Arts Media eDucation (FAMe)
Lecturer, University of North Texas
 
" My latest work is through my course, Interactive Community Video. This semester, students in my class are learning how to teach media literacy skills and are applying them in an elementary classroom setting. We have teamed up with a group of local fifth grade teachers and are working with their students to produce short documentaries. Through this process, my students are teaching ten and eleven year olds  the core concepts of media literacy, how to access, analyze, evaluate, and then create their own work. Students are learning that they don't just have to consume media, but that they also have the power to create their own media, and to create their own narratives in the process." [ read more ]
