There’s so much effort to say “whole new way” when what’s really happening is that new media extends (certainly it does not replace) interactions with print media. The big transformation here is that media can now be collaborative and that means informal learning (always important) is now a factor that curriculum designers must anticipate.
Kudos to the City of Chicago for embracing these opportunities *outside* the academy.

Sure would be nice if you closed captioned your online videos so that your message and information could be as inclusive as possible.
Need info on how? Get in touch with me at the e-mail I posted privately.
