A presentation on the effects of old and new media forms within a classroom setting.
As technology continues to improve we find ourselves continually adapting to new ways to learn • Taking notes with ball pens is a lot different than doing so with an iPad • So which way is more beneficial? The Conflict
Notebooks, Post it Notes, Textbooks, Chalkboards, and even Dry Erase boards these days • Are we heading away from these traditional forms of learning? • What are we losing from this? Types of Old Media
Hard Copy: When writing on tangible items you never run the risk of deleting it and losing all your information • More likely to focus: There are less distraction allowing students to focus at the topic at hand • Freedom to format: There are no restrictions to how the placement of your documentations are written down Why use Old Media?
IPads, Laptops, Smartphones, Internet, and Kindles • Are we becoming too comfortable with these new devices? • Is this the direction the future should take? Types of New Media
Multitasking: With tablets, its easy have many different windows open at once to get more done • Better Spacing: Small devices create less clutter on a desk • Accessible Resources: Can help develop conversation on a topic by looking up information during class • New Ways To Learn: With new media, YouTube, blogs, and social media have all been introduced to the classroom which can be viewed on a projector What's the big deal about New Media?
Clutter: Can become very unorganized and take up space on the desk • Outdated: As we move into a digital generation, old media can seem old fashion and unappealing Cons of Old Media
Distraction: While it may be good to have the internet at your tablets disposal, it may very well take your mind of the subject at hand • Less efficient with time: With all that multitasking you are doing you become less efficient with doing one job • Believe everything is a quick fix: Since there is nothing difficult about searching a topic in Google, people may forget we once had to actually research information in the library Cons of New Media
With many schools trying to try new technology in the classroom, newer generations will grow up never experience old media • Will newer generation miss out on skills that only old media could developed? • Skills such as handwriting, sustainable memory, and concentration Should we be concerned?
If we looked through history we will see that there has always been speculation about the newest technology and how people will adapt to it • New media may have new options to learn, but the process is the same • Imagine the first time someone brought a calculator in the classroom No we shouldn’t be concerned!
Yes, the newer generations will may decrease in skill levels that old media helped developed if everyone goes strictly new media • On the other hand, people will gain new skills to strive in the new unknown world that new media is creating • Change will always happen, it is important to be able to adapt Outcomes
When it comes to old media vs. new media there should be a balance of both • As we can see both provide things that the other may struggle in • It becomes important to understand which media is best for certain situations and apply them appropriately • Don’t be scared of the future, understand what's going on and take hold of it!
