    Virtual E-Race-ing through Digital Discoveries: Using New Media for Liberating Education

    Melda N. YILDIZ



    New media have the potential to liberate teaching and learning by providing access to alternative resources, tools, and global point of views. It can liberate teachers and students from reliance on the textbook. New media enable students to participate online discussion groups, weblogs, wikis, and listservs for their research. They can produce media presentations, learning objects, interactive teaching material.

    In a recent workshop I created for the Race and Gender project (Virtual E-Race-ing through Digital Discoveries, on February 22, 2006) I demonstrated how I used new media in my Racism and Sexism in the US course last fall. I designed the course to have several components structured around the use of new media to augment course content. These components include deconstruction, research and construction.
    • De-construction: (Reading Media). Students were encouraged to explore Media Literacy activities such as deconstructing webpages, news, advertisement, and newspapers; engaged in POV (point of view) exercises.
    • Research: (Using Media). Students developed library skills, Information Literacy, and researched online resources.
    • Construction: (Writing Media) Students produced media based on their research. They choose to create projects including oral history projects, video documentaries, website,s webquests, weblogs, and multimedia presentations.

    Since the theme of my workshop was an exploration of how a critical approach to the study of new media combines knowledge, reflection, and action, and a consideration of the role media education plays in multicultural education by reflecting on teaching practices through participatory exercises that can be used in the classroom, it could be of use to any teacher interested in incorporating issues of race, class, gender, age, and many other issues, into his/her teaching. For interested faculty, I have posted a discussion of these issues, a complete Powerpoint presentation of the workshop, a wide range of online resources, activities, and virtual projects, and examples from my students' online discussions and multimedia projects from my course on http://e-race-ing.blogspot.com/.
