[Air-L] Teachingmedia - Website for sharing teaching idea

[Anthony Nadler]

In 2010, we launched www. <goog_1727118000>teachingmedia.org to provide a
space for college-level media studies instructors to share teaching
resources and ideas -- from recommended readings to video clips to
assignments and syllabi.  Whether you work with media analysis, production,
history, and/or other approaches, we’re trying to pool insights from a
variety of critical perspectives on teaching media, journalism, and popular
culture.   We’re building a platform that goes beyond syllabi sharing by
allowing media instructors to help each other with the nitty-gritty of
lesson planning and share why they have chosen specific readings, clips,
etc.  If you're putting together materials for Fall classes, try visiting
our site to browse for ideas and contribute your own.



We had a major influx of new visitors after our initial posting on Air-L.
Though we’re just getting started, many users have already told us the site
has been helpful in giving them new ideas for teaching.  Please help us
build a collaborative media studies commons by sharing materials and
strategies you have used to spur meaningful educational experiences in your
classes.



Best,
