Announcing our Spring conference:<br />
Learning in a Participatory Culture<br />
<br />
At NML's May 2nd conference, we will share our new web-based learning environment, the Learning Library, and host a series of conversations and workshops about the integration and implementation of the new media literacies across disciplines. Workshops include "The Complexities of Copyright: Shepard Fairey v. the AP," "Mapping in Participatory Culture: Boundaries," "Using Wikipedia in the Classroom" and many others. Henry Jenkins' closing remarks will address the future of NML and participatory democracy.<br />
<br />
Panelists at this conference will include members of the NML team, educators who have been working with NML materials in the field, and educational researchers. The conference is designed to engage anyone with an interest in the future of education, especially high school teachers and after school coordinators. The format itself will be participatory - we hope that attendees will join the conversation, and leave the conference equipped with new ideas and strategies.<br />
<br />
Learning in a Participatory Culture will take place at MIT, Cambridge MA, from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.<br />
Registration for this one-day conference is $35.00, breakfast and lunch included.<br />

Hi everyone! I'm running a community service project @ MIT trying to get kids to make videos about SAT Vocabulary <a href="http://brainyflix.com">BrainyFlix.com</a>.<br />
<br />
I was looking for some feedback:<br />
- How long do you think the videos need to be? For learning words to be efficient and memorable? Should there be a time limit? You can see some examples @ the homepage.<br />
- Why would teachers/students NOT participate? We were fortunate enough to land a corporater sponsor so that we can give out a…
Hi everyone! I'm running a community service project @ MIT trying to get kids to make videos about SAT Vocabulary <a href="http://brainyflix.com">BrainyFlix.com</a>.<br />

I was looking for some feedback:<br />
- How long do you think the videos need to be? For learning words to be efficient and memorable? Should there be a time limit? You can see some examples @ the homepage.<br />
- Why would teachers/students NOT participate? We were fortunate enough to land a corporater sponsor so that we can give out a small cash prize and iTunes. And making sketches is fun! So to us, this is a no-brainer. But if that were so, we would have a much better conversion rate of viewers signing up to be reminded to participate. Please let me know what people's hangups may be.<br />
- Anything else you think could use improvement or addressing?<br />
<br />
I look forward to hearing from you guys :]
