New Media Literacy

1. What is convergence culture?
Convergence culture is the mix between old and new technology to make a form of technolofy used today.
2. What are the implications of convergence culture for education?
It can help teach students the new ways of learning through technology, the old ways, and a mixture of both and how to apply them in everyday life.
3. How are schools limiting kids' access to digital tools? Do you agree with these policies? Why or why not?
I believe that kids should be taught to use different tools that technology and the internet have to offer. While may are very helpful, others should not be used in the elementary classroom. Tools like Blogger and other online sites are very beneficial to learning, while other social networking sites like facebook and myspace are mainly for fun. I think that there are some limitations that should be placed in the classroom, but other things could be very useful in learning.
