Top 10 Lessons Learned about Digital Storytelling
Think back and look at lessons you have learned about digital storytelling.
In week four, fall term, you collaboratively created a 'Most Important' book.
Reflect on the insights you've gained since this document was produced as you think about the Top 10 Lessons you have learned about digital storytelling, media literacy, and digital literacy in MDL4000.
(Link back to the Fall, Week 2 course page if you need to explore more about creating a top 10 list - scroll down to mid page.)

(Link back to the Fall, Week 2 course page if you need to explore more about creating a top 10 list - scroll down to mid page.)
Work with your table group to create a Top 10 list of lessons you have learned about digital storytelling, media literacy, and digital literacy in MDL4000. Review the information from the course site, your own notes, the google docs and web 2.0 collaborative creations done over the previous weeks.
Capture and share your Top 10 Lessons Learned about MDL4000 using a Google slide presentation. On each page identify the lesson learned, and add a URL link to the course web page where that lesson was introduced or where more information can be found. The final page is a creative work where a meme or word cloud image can be created that represents one of the top lessons you've learned.
This can be done collaboratively (does NOT need to be an individual submission - just make sure all your names are evident to claim ownership and authorship). Share your creation with your instructor.

Cultivating self reflection and a capacity for conversation in a technological age
Sherry Turkle presents some thought provoking ideas about the impact of technology on conversations and relationships. In this video she explores the paradoxical idea of how people, through the ever-present use of technology, are less connected and more alone than ever before.
Insights in this presentation include how technology changes who we are, how we do things, how we relate to each other and how we relate to ourselves. Turkle shares the 'Goldilocks Effect' with our use of technology - 'just right'. She presents how technology changes our minds and hearts and identifies three fantasies: 1. we can put attention where we want; 2. we will always be heard; and 3. we will never have to be alone.

Sherry Turkle presents a call to action that includes taking time for face to face conversations, actively listening to each other, and quiet reflection. Turkle calls for everyone to cultivate the capacity for solitude and self reflection, create sacred spaces for conversations and really listening, even the boring bits.
As a teacher and learner using media and digital technologies, how do you create spaces for quiet reflection. Where do you find 'sacred spaces' for conversation? Does the 'Goldilocks Effect' shift your thinking about how to teach with digital technologies?
