New Media

This is a blog about my new media class. I am a Graduate Student at Peabody of Vanderbilt. I am in the Secondary English Education program. This specific class promotes the questions and concerns about new media in the classroom, so that we as teachers will be prepared for the integration of this growing phenomena in the classroom. The opinions and experiences that I relate in this blog are my own. I will be relating my thoughts and perceptions about class discussion and readings, and the practice and skills that I acquire through my practicum as a podcast host for the Nashville Public Library.

“Today we are beginning to notice that the new media are not just mechanical gimmicks for creating worlds of illusion, but new languages with new and unique powers of expression.”

--Marshall McLuhan
