Abstract:
Somewhere between pariah and panacea lies the fact that, when used strategically and creatively, interactive media can be an invaluable tool for instigating thinking, investigation, and creation. This panel explores the opportunities and myriad uses online and interactive media provide educators, students, and parents. Topics include: designing and using graphic media to maximize its educational potential, exploiting online interfaces to shape thinking and spur constructivist curricula, using multimedia to facilitate “sneaky learning,” the importance of promoting media literacy, and encouraging girls to use technology.
