Course Description

This course provides an opportunity for teachers to integrate social media, video and graphic tools and assessments and teaching strategies into their lessons. Participants may discuss and critically examine social, emotional and practical implications that now shape students' digital media literacy and usage. Learning the various nuances of social media platforms is key in designing effective instructional materials. Using content creation tools such as Canva and video/audio editors, students will create and repurpose digital media in the framework of how media is currently designed, shared, and consumed by students, teachers, and parents.
