As a nation we don&#8217;t value critical thought right now.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly &#8212; policies governing children have to change?<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; way that students receive information has changed 3-4 times already. A number of teachers know that they&#8217;re not giving students what they need with critical thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Renee &#8212; Inquiry model drives media literacy. Engaged teachers leave in first five years. A larger proportion of motivated change agents get pushed out. Teachers don&#8217;t get to see inquiry model. Colleges make it difficult for discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Steve &#8212; how do we fight through the notion that professor is expert?<\/p>\n<p>Amy &#8212; how do we get buy-in into something that is new. Education about the changing consumer is key here.<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; listening to students is a big part of the process. School values what students have to say. It&#8217;s a little messy.<\/p>\n<p>Amy &#8212; why do you have to change?<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; relevancy is the key.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas &#8212; Tempe established teaching academy about 12 years ago &#8212; in touch with people who care about teaching. Talking to people who cared and developing a teaching learning center at Temple. Shifting the focus from teaching to learning. Opened my eyes that students learn differently. It&#8217;s raised the profile and focus on how students are learning. Part of it shift in thinking to where students are focus.<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; problems with public school systems &#8212; funding, equipment&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Renee &#8212; some problems trickle down from Ed schools.<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; students are drivers alot of the time<\/p>\n<p>Stephen &#8212; creativity and ambiguity are not honored. We want the outside world kept at bay. We want organization and certainty in classrooms. Diminishes the value of ambiguity.<\/p>\n<p>Amy &#8212; news media going through same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen &#8212; news media is canary in coal mine. Are economics so fundamentally changed? How do we keep the car on the road?<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; students telling stories? Is there a space?<\/p>\n<p>Renee &#8212; how do we create a space?<\/p>\n<p>Kristin &#8212; make it relevant. GPS makes longitude and latitude pertinent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jeannine &#8212; &#8220;community orgs\/community center&#8221;. A place that is not regulated and you can come in and to things. In one day you&#8217;re giving them enough &#8212; takes extra effort and determination to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Renee &#8212; teachers can take groups of students out to work on newspapers\/magazines. Capitalize on out of classroom experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a way to do out of classroom experiences with news orgs?<\/p>\n<p>Amy &#8212; Is there a Knight proposal &#8212; Wednesday digital update? Interactive possibilities? Partner with local news org?<\/p>\n<p>Faith &#8212; two ideas:<br \/>\n1. make a part of the teaching requirement, instead of prepare a lesson plan, I want you to include how you model this value &#8212;<br \/>\n2. script teachers to be inquiry-based. Script a way to ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>Diana &#8212; make it part of literacy in high schools and elem schools.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly &#8212; perilous alarmist stuff about internet doesnt help. A way to engage teachers &#8212; national writing project? How do we affect policy? Integrated across curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Is it possible to get a Wiki or Blog off the ground centered around this topic. Video submissions? UK has Teachers.Tv &#8212; how-to videos on teaching and teaching media literacy. Learn a lot about teaching methods &#8212; creating online community. Problems with online communit would be lack of comfort by teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Faith &#8212; Coaching is critical. The goal of a good batting coach is not to make everyone have the same swing but to make everyone a good hitter. So how can I tweak what this player is doing to make them better. There is no such perfect swing that everyone should have. Moving along the continuum. Begin the process.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas &#8212; learning is important. High school journalism &#8212; those engaged are succeeding. Student press and student as community. School as community is a way to bring this closer to students.<\/p>\n<p>Mike &#8212; Teacher education for pre-service?
