“We define “media arts
practices” as the means by which one engages in media art and the reasons and
motivations for doing so.”
I thought that this research article was
interesting. I like how they focus on computation,
collaboration, and creativity, rather than computer-familiarity and basic
computing at Computer Clubhouse. However, I chose the above quote because I
never thought of the word “practices” including motivations and reasoning
behind doing things. We throw around the words “educational practices” and “instructional
practices”, but we never include motivations and reasoning in the
definition. I think reflecting on
reasoning and motivation are important concepts in everything done in
education, whether discussing a student’s education or the way information is
presented to them within a class.
Other Resource:
I chose this resource because it is a visual way to describe how
education is designed for a previous age and not for the students in this
era. He then discusses the problem with
students’ attentions in school and how it is the aesthetic experiences that motivate learning. It’s an awesome
video about changing the educational system.
