What does it mean to be a digital & media literacy mentor?
How does digital & media literacy mentoring looks like?
How can I be a digital & media literacy mentor in my particular educational context?
In a digital age, where technology offers many solutions and distractions alongside with demand for standardization and accountability, it is time for media literacy research to find a holistic approach to address these advantages and challenges. This presentation will offer a framework to explore media literacy practices through a holistic mixed method structure. Using a case study of a month-long media literacy summer class with underprivileged high school students, the presentation will describe how digital empathy is not only a pedagogical approach, but also a holistic research method that will advance media literacy scholarship.
Digital empathy is my attempt to develop a model that promotes cognitive, emotional, and social skills using digital media. Our goal is to: a) introduce the development of media literacy research practices; b) offer a new framework for media literacy research methods using digital empathy; c) showcase the use of digital empathy as media literacy research methods using a case study.
This is the presentation used for a workshop at John Cabot University in Rome. The aim of the workshop is professional development for Italian teachers of English literature.

The Bare Necessities: On Becoming a Digital Literacy LeaderYonty Friesem
For his dissertation research, Dr. Yonty Friesem spend two years at a public elementary school to explore how professional development in digital and media literacy can promote teachers' practices. The study showed how together the in and out of school support team gradually created a community of practice to support teachers' digital and media literacy practices. By addressing the teachers' needs, the support was effective as observed and analyzed by Dr. Friesem. This presentation shows how digital literacy leaders can work on them bare necessities.
Walter Benjamin and digital media - for COM 520Yonty Friesem
In his article The work of art in the age of the mechanical reproduction 1973 [1936], Walter Benjamin argued that photos and cinema can be used as propaganda but at the same time help for social reforms. Though his argument is almost eighty years old, the current debate about the digital media seems to continue the tradition started long time ago.

Abstract:
Digital curation is a complex of actors, policies, practices, and technologies enabling successful consumer engagement with
authentic content of interest across space and time. While digital curation is a rapidly maturing field, it still lacks a convincing unified theoretical foundation. A recent internal evaluation of its programmatic activities by the University of California Curation Center (UC3) led quickly to seemingly simple, yet deceptively difficult-to-answer questions. Too many fundamental terms of curation practice remain overloaded and under-formalized, perhaps none more so than “digital object.” To address these concerns, UC3 is developing a new model for conceptualizing the curation domain. While drawing freely from
many significant prior efforts (e.g., Kahn-Wilensky, FRBR, NAA, OAIS, BRM, etc.), the UC3 Sept model also assumes that digital curation is an inherently semiotic activity. Consequently, the model considers curated content with respect to six distinct analytic dimensions: semantics, syntactics, empirics, pragmatics, diplomatics, and dynamics, which refer respectively to content’s underlying abstract meaning or emotional affect, symbolic encoding structures, physical representations, realizing behaviors, evidential authenticity and reliability, and evolution through time. Correspondingly, the model defines an object typology of increasing consumer utility: blobs, artifacts, exemplars, products, assets, records, and heirlooms, which are respectively existential, intentional, purposeful, interpretable, useful, trustworthy, and resilient digital objects. Content engagement is modeled in terms of producer, owner, manager, and consumer roles acting within a continuum of concerns for originating, organizing, and pluralizing curated content. Content policy and strategy are modeled in terms of six high-level imperatives: predilect, collect, protect, introspect, project, and connect. A consistent, comprehensive, and conceptually parsimonious domain model is important for planning, performing, and evaluating programmatic activities in a rigorous and systematic rather than ad hoc and idiosyncratic manner. The UC3 Sept model can be used to make precise yet concise statements regarding curation intentions, activities, and results.

Parent Involvement for the 21st Century
EDU 617 School, Family & Community Partnerships
Instructor: Joyce Johnson
Student's Name
Date
Introduction
Active community and parent involvement in a school is not automatic. It involves energy and labor on the part of the school, its staff and establishing relationship with parents and the community. The relationship must also be sustained and continued nurture and support must be established to improve the relationships. This task is imperative for the growth and development of the school. Parents and the community should come together and by joining forces to ensure that each child receives the necessary resources, continued support and opportunity they need to be successful in their learning. A strong parent and community relationship make for a great school experience for all that is associated to the school.
In an effort to provide support and opportunities for students, they should be provided opportunities to participate in community service and internships; that will develop the skills. By being provided these opportunities, students will be able to apply these skills not only to the classroom but also their daily lives. The students will participate and be actively involved in the community and the parents will support and encourage these students in doing their best. Community and parent support is a wonderful source of inspiration for students.
Philosophy
The internship and community service projects goal is to recover and advance the community through student, parent and community contribution (Kielsmeier, 2010). The concept is to get the parents and community involved in giving students the support they need when actively involved in their projects within the community and their class assignments. The purpose is to help produce a deeper understanding of classroom learning and a chance for improvement in the community. The classroom abilities and skills attained by students will be converted into improvements within their local community.
Objectives
There are certain objectives that I will like to meet in the course of the service project. These objectives are:
1. To increase parent involvement in the community.
The majority of community projects involves the child and the parent. This means, in order for the child to participate, the parent must be actively involved; when this happens, the number of parents that participate will increase. It is imperative for school staff and teachers to acquire and maintain a good relationship with parents and school staff. Creating these relationships encourages parents and motivates them in wanting to be ...

Abstract for FLIE Learning Conference 2023
A hotly contested debate in Higher Education remains: where does the responsibility lie for the development of student learning and writing? Wherever our students are learning, they are writing, be it formatively, creatively, or summatively, often with pain and pressure, but seldom for pleasure. The process of academic writing can free up thinking and ideas - and be an initiation into and participation in wider professional and academic discourses, and creativity, drawing, observations and alternative ways of creating visual data (Ridley 2010) as well as more tactile approaches such as Lego Serious Play (James and Nerantzi 2019) can form part of this process. This presentation will share the work of the Department of Nursing Sciences staff, as they took an active participant approach to engaging students with their learning as part of their reflection of teaching practice (PREP) during the past academic year; and the student responses to these different ways of learning.

Researchers Role Every organization must have an action planning proce.docxhenry34567896
Researcher’s Role
Every organization must have an action planning process, which starts by creating mission, value, and vision statements. Through them, community initiatives by the organization become successful since they explain the organization's aspiration. Also, the statements help an organization stay focused on the important things while providing a basis for developing other strategic plan aspects. A person who conducts in-depth study on a subject to gain greater knowledge about that subject is called a researcher. There is no one set of duties that a researcher is expected to fulfill across all academic disciplines or professional domains. Researchers in the medical field may utilize clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of a novel treatment, whereas social scientists may use questionnaires and in-person interviews to gain a better understanding of how people behave (Aspers, P., & Corte, 2019).
Through the processes of data gathering, analysis, and interpretation, the role of a researcher is to contribute to the existing body of knowledge in their respective discipline. Researchers acquire data through a variety of methods, some of which include controlled experiments, surveys, interviews, and direct observation (Bakker, 2018). Direct observation is another method. They first do statistical analysis on the data to derive conclusions, and then they interpret the findings of that study. They present their findings at conferences and publish them in academic journals and papers to share their findings with others and advance the field.
I am the former principal of George H. Oliver Elementary School. It was my role and responsibility to serve as the instructional leader of the school. As principal, it was also my responsibility to conduct informal and formal observations of teachers using the Mississippi Professional Growth Rubric. School administrators are required to be trained by the Mississippi Department of Education to give teachers ratings during observation (Mississippi Department of Education, 2022). I also worked with teachers to set learning goals based on the state approved curriculum.
As the leader of the school, I had to build partnerships with community stakeholders so that we could educate the whole child. I was also responsible for developing and implementing a school improvement plan. In my capacity, I served as support for new teachers and served on the district’s disciplinary committee. It was also my responsibility to manage GHO district and federal budget. I had to ensure that federal money was spent according to the needs of the school. Finally, as principal, it was my responsibility to improve the culture of the school by boosting teacher morale, decreasing the amount of discipline problems, and increasing attendance.
Description of the Setting
George H. Oliver Elementary School (GHO) is in Clarksdale, Mississippi, which is in the heart of the Mississippi Delta region. GHO is in the Brickyard neighborhood,.
Analyzing Memes to Increase Youth Civic
Engagement through Media Literacy & Anti-Bias
Education -
This workshop will focus on how analyzing memes in the classroom can increase students’ media literacy, help them deconstruct their own biases, and have conversations about civic engagement. We’ll talk of how adding media production can increase students’ empathy and allow them to gain a deeper understanding of mediated communication.
Digital Empathy: Inclusion for all students via media productionYonty Friesem
People with disabilities exist absent of cultural boundaries, serving as a common thread connecting communities globally. While issues of gender, class, ethnicity and sexuality are covered extensively by media literacy educators and research, issues facing people with disabilities are largely overlooked by current media literacy practices. These gaps in media literacy education and research represent a wide range of interdisciplinary, professional opportunities for current media literacy proponents. This roundtable session will offer an interdisciplinary approach, I call Digital Empathy, to digital literacy and special education.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
