What happens when a video teacher and administrator at Boston English High School start to infuse media-literacy principles in the school day? Listen to this unedited audio of a session at the Oct. 27, 2007 media literacy conference at MIT: "Creating and Learning in a Media Saturated Culture." The panel, lead by Renee Hobbs, of Temple University, included (in first order of speaking): Rona Zickower, of Media Power Youth, Manchester, N.H.; Xavier Rozas, media teacher, Boston English High School; and Chris Toulet-cote, assistant headmaster of English High.  Click here to launch an audio stream, or DOWNLOAD MP3 PODCAST.

Participation, transparency and ethics are three core challenges facing the field of media-literacy education, according to MIT Prof. Henry Jenkins.  Jenkins keynoted an Oct. 27, 2007, day-long "2007 Media Literacy Conference: Creating and Learning in a Media Saturated Culture" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 

  • AUDIO: Listen to a 58-minute streaming excerpt of Jenkins' talk by clicking on the Hipcast carat below. Or download an MP3 PODCAST:   

Jenkins says there's a participation gap because only abougt 57% of youth say they have produced media while the other 43% remain passive media consumers.  Education efforts need to be transaparent, he says, not pitting old literacies such as reading, against new literacies such as video production or virtual-reality gaming. And educators must figure out how to address the challenge of teaching media ethics to youth without resorting to what Jenkins terms a "surveillance culture."
