A conference to encourage K-12 educators to rethink the notion of what literacy is and how it can best be taught in the digital media age.
Anything TV has been years in the making. What started as an idea to organize a TV show has since manifested into a multimedia, student-led learning and passion based project. This presentation will demonstrate how video, new media and new literacies can be leveraged in any classroom or any curricular content with the creation of a classroom TV show which I call Anything TV. With Anything TV, students are able to curate, collaborate and create a multimedia product which can address curricula pertaining to their class or student-led content generated from their own interests and passions. The student-led nature of Anything TV allows for emergent curriculum and phenomenon based learning which adapts based on relevant media, news and occurrences around the world. Students will love the autonomy and creativity that Anything TV provides and teachers will love how much they learn from students about new media, viral trends and the future of communications and video.
