     The difference between Media in Education and Media Literacy

Education is quickly evolving and becoming more independent and digital. In a world almost completely run with technology it's important to know what you can and can't do with it in the classroom. As a future educator, it is my responsibility to educate myself on what changes and what stays the same when it comes to using technology in the classroom. One of the basic step stones to first understand is media in education and media literacy, both meaning different things. Media in education is the use of technology and social media, i.e. video, pictures, songs, etc. Media literacy education is being able to identify media that you can and can't use in the classroom. This falls in with the entire theme of fair use and the code. The key to all this is knowing what the social bargain is, meaning if the benefit will be greater than the potential backlash to any of the companies it is said to be okay to use or fair use. If you are using media to teach any certain lesson it's under fair use policy. This makes it possible to not need to ask direct permission to use the media in lessons or teaching, which surprised me. I think schools should all definitely want to use the fair use policy because I believe it serves education and helps the students better understand the information in some cases.

Creating this video wasn't very challenging, however it was time consuming. I was already acquainted with the movie making program and had some previous understanding.

Reading Reflection (RR#2): 21st Century Pedagogy

This week's reading focused on 21st Century Pedagogy and what it means for the new and upcoming educators and students. The article broke down a few of the more important aspects of what pedagogy is and how it directly relates to what the future potentially holds. One detail from the article that really stuck out to me was that, " Assessment is still a key part of 21st Century Pedagogy. This generation of students responds well to clear goals and objectives, assessed in a transparent ." This to me reinforces the idea that even though our world and ways of teaching are changing, the core goals will still be the same, assessment and hopefully success. I'm pleased that assessment is still one of the key parts to 21st century pedagogy and believe it always should be. I felt relieved and satisfied to know that students will still be driven and directed in a way that makes sense to best benefit them and their learning. Even though assessment will still be a part of the new way of teaching, the path to getting there will more than likely dramatically change. I agreed with the article when it mentioned multiple times that the 21st century pedagogy needs to adapt to the world today and how students see it and interact with it. If educators can just understand that and make an honest effort I would think success would be inevitable.

The learning Pyramid takes into account seven different, popular, methods of teaching that are used today. The levels include: lecture, reading, audio-visual, demonstration, discussion group, practice by doing, and teach others. each of these seven methods were studied and given a percentage grade for how well students remembered the given information via that method. The percentages given, which ranged from lecture at 5% to teach others at 90%, makes up the average retention rate in terms of information taught. It's a simple way to break down today's teaching methods and see how successful they actually are.

This article supports and reinforces the information I have given above and gives a little extra detail on the learning pyramid. http://acrlog.org/2014/01/13/tales-of-the-undead-learning-theories-the-learning-pyramid/
