Citation preview
A presentation on the effects of old and new media forms within a classroom setting.
The Conflict
*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?
Types of Old Media
*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?
Why use 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
Types of New Media*IPads, Laptops, Smartphones, Internet,
and Kindles
*Are we becoming too comfortable with these new devices?
*Is this the direction the future should take?
What's the big deal about 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
Cons of Old 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*Outdated: As we move into a digital generation, old media can seem old fashion and unappealing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 New 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
Should we be concerned?
*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
No we shouldn’t 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
Outcomes
*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
Conclusion
*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!
