In New Media students will examine traditional texts, but use new media to understand it. Students will respond personally and critically through their own multimedia responses. What would Romeo’s blog look like, or Juliet’s twitter feed? How is social media used in persuasion? In today’s workplace and educational settings, students need to balance a digital literacy with that of the traditional, as well as their social connectivity with their interpersonal. A love for reading is encouraged across the formats as preparation for contemporary citizenship in academic and workplace settings.
