Computer Literacy 11/06/2003 12:46 AM
Malappuram aims to have 100 percent e-literacy with the help of wireless Internet: This district in the Indian state of Kerala is deploying networks in hundreds of regional centers which are located within a few kilometers of several villages each. The population of 600,000 families can pay about US$1.00 (if I have the conversion of rupees correctly calculated) for 15 lessons. Astoundingly, the government claims that 400,000 households are already e-literate, without precisely defining what that means, and has a goal of 100 percent. The entire state of Kerala ultimately hopes to expand this mode of providing access throughout its 14 districts. Kerala claims 100 percent written literacy....

The American Library Association has developed this site as a gateway (and a gathering place) for those looking for resources and discussion on information literacy focused on "improving the teaching, learning, and research role of the higher education community." Visitors arriving at the site would do well to first take a look at the overview section, which offers an introduction to information literacy, and a number of resources for faculty who hope to address the subject of information literacy in their courses. The section also has an excellent standards toolkit, which serves as an integrated set of tools, web pages, and other resources that will help various academic professionals incorporate these tools into their work. Visitors will also want to take a close look at the additional resources and ideas area, which includes information about assessment issues, collaborative efforts in information literacy, and examples of course syllabi that incorporate information literacy. Finally, the site also has an option that allows visitors to sign up to become part of the information literacy instruction listserv.

A Parent's Role In Media Literacy

A Parent's Role In Media Literacy 12/05/2003 12:29 PM
Professor Henry Jenkins at MIT has written a very interesting piece in MIT's Tech Review about a parent's role in the media literacy of children. He points out that, too often, parents take a simplistic limiting approach to all media. They simply tell their kids what they can't watch on TV, play on their video game console or visit on the internet. Or, they limit the amount of time they can spend on any of those things. While there's nothing wrong with any of those things, he suggests it's not doing what's really important: which is teaching the kids some media literacy and getting them involved. Instead of just banning things, he suggests, getting involved with what media the children are consuming, asking them questions, and teaching them to think critically about what they are seeing. This way, they learn to have a real understanding of what they see, and can deal with it on their own - rather than just be blocked off from the material and pretending it doesn't exist. He also talks about the importance of encouraging the kids to become producers of media as well. This way they can learn what's really happening when they see things online, on TV or in games - and have a better grasp over what's real and what's created.

Putting Media Literacy In The Elementary
School Curriculum 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
Since much of what we seem to focus on here is about the way various people and organizations "spin" stories to prove a point, I think it's increasingly important that people learn (at an early age, if possible) to be skeptical about how ideas are presented to them, and learn to be more discerning in asking deeper questions and looking for additional context. That's why it's encouraging to find out that many schools are adding a "media literacy" component to their English programs, where students learn just how easy it is to manipulate or spin a message. While some complain that this is just teaching kids "pop culture", I would disagree. It's a way to help develop critical thinking skills at a very young age. In a world where everyone seems focused on only presenting their side of the story, getting people, at a very young age, to realize that there are many sides (not just two) to every story is important - and is likely to be a very practical skill for anyone to have. Of course, already, you do have to wonder who they get to teach these courses, and if they'll have their own spin to put on it as well. Perhaps such courses should have multiple teachers with multiple points of view, just to prove the point. Found via JD's New Media Musings.

Well it seems that News.com can't get the facts straight. David Becker in "RSS gets down to business" writes: Blogging pioneer Dave Winer developed RSS several years ago as a way to automatically receive new chunks of frequently updated content. The format has caught on primarily for keeping track of Web logs and news sites, but developers see applications for many other types of dynamic content, from e-mail to server status reports. Eh? I seem to remember Netscape developing RSS....

But like the Cabir mobile phone virus, this one, called Duts, was written by a member of the 29A virus writing group and is a "proof of concept" pice of software. That is to say that the virus will never be a problem in the real world, but was developed to show it can be done.
