Going Beyond Essays: New kids, New Media and New Literacies
 

It is up to us to help digital kids “write the media they read” so they can be active, media creators rather than just passive media consumers. We need to help them migrate from text centrism to media collage literacy in creative, thoughtful, ways. We need to help them cultivate their new media talents, adopt art as the 4th R and use research and narrative to convey their ideas in rich, compelling ways. We need to help them createmedia stories and projects that are articulate, transformative and help them imagine the world they want to create. And we need to help them collaborate and share their work and talents within the collaborative community of the social web.
