Clay Shirky: How social media can make history

This sums up what I am trying to do in my Media Studies classes. I also like his talks on collaboration and SOPA. He was talking about this back in 2005.

Research News Article via Blog


I was invited to participate on Youth Voices, a student blogging site created by the National Writing Project in New York, and excitedly created a project for my Media Studies classes.

Students created a list of questions they were interested in, researched this topic from two sources from the internet, and created a News Article to present their information. Then, they uploaded their work as a blog discussion.

Paul Allison, the director for the site, liked the project, and allowed me to created a Mission from it for other teachers to use. All student's work from the project is featured and linked on the left side of the page.
