MEDIA LITERACY & CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT.[CI 5635]
New York City Class.

FROM BOONE TO BROADWAY Continuing our tradition of inviting distinguished scholars to join our program as guest instructors, we are very pleased to be able to announce that Kathleen Tyner will team with David Considine to teach MEDIA LITERACY & CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT.[CI 5635] Scheduled for July 27th- August 2nd, 2002 the class will be based at Appalachian's loft in New York City. Kathleen Tyner has a distinguished career in media literacy and is respected both nationally and internationally for her pioneering work with her own San Francisco -based organization, Strategies for Media Literacy. Ms. Tyner received The Jessie McCanse award for individual contributions to media literacy from The National Telemedia Council. She has had many years of experience conducting workshops with teachers throughout the U.S. Significantly, Ms. Tyner is also a skilled media producer. Her books include Media and You: An Elementary Media Literacy Curriculum and 1998's. Literacy in a Digital World: Teaching and Learning in the Age of Information. The class is intended for students who have already taken the gateway class in Media Literacy at Appalachian State or whose expertise and experience in media literacy has been accepted by the program coordinator [Dr. Considine]. *Guest instructors may also make special appearances during the week.  |
The class will include extensive readings which will be distributed to students prior to arrival in New York City. The readings will emphasize international approaches to media education with a focus on theory and practice in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Developments within the American media literacy movement will be located against these international paradigms and perspectives. Students will be required to design and develop a major curriculum project due on a date to be determined AFTER the conclusion of the class in NYC. The term curriculum , may be regarded as referring to K-12 education but it is also possible for other sites and settings to be utilized. This might for example include after school programs intended to be delivered in a forum such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America. It might also include curriculum designed and developed for use with juvenile offenders. Students are also encouraged to conceptualize delivering curriculum to non-school-age populations. Whatever the focus of the project is, it will be required to be theoretically grounded in the key principles of media education. Part of each day during this summer session will be spent in the loft, discussing and analyzing key concepts addressed in the daily readings. Each day will also have several hours of outside time, some structured and some unstructured. It is expected that students will utilize cultural resources in New York City such as The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of the Moving Image and The Museum of Television and Radio for personal pleasure, enrichment and research.

Sleeping arrangements are suitable for a college community, offering bunk style beds in 2 main bedrooms that are usually divided with males in one and females in the other. Full bathroom facilities are also available.
