In Kylie Peppler's book, New Creativity Paradigms, Peppler states, "What's called for is a general framework for understanding, analyzing, and appreciating interest-driven art learning that usually occurs outside the classroom." pg 14. Peppler goes on to create a rubric for just that purpose. I think this rubric will be very helpful for me as I go on to teach. One of my personal learning objectives this semester is to develop myself as a teacher, and especially as a teacher of new media. I hope to use this rubric in the future to assess my students' work both inside and outside of the classroom. I can use it to gauge which competency areas my students are proficient in and which need to be developed more in class.
The data in Chapter 2 shows us that all teens are exposed to new media for almost the majority of their day, but the content is created mostly by suburban teens in wealthy households. To me, this illustrates the importance of teaching new media in urban underprivileged areas. Teaching content creation tools in these areas could even out the playing field. This is a good thing for me to keep in mind as a future teacher.
