New Media Literacies Project

New Media Literacies Project seems to be taking the initiative that the education system has not taken on its own. Through this research it is evident that students of this generation are far surpassing adult expectation of capability. These students are producers of their world actively participating in the information stream. Many students are aware of social networking and networking skills before they are entering college. Yet, universities do not comprehend that the students of tomorrow are not learning as the students of yesterday. These students are actively ready to engage in a world of technology if only the world would allow them the capacity to experience the technology available.

Our world is multicultural, multifunctional and global. Students must be taught how to become professionals in the global market place. This project discussed how these young students are able to function on their own desire in the participatory fraction of the market place. No longer are students mere consumers of products they are the producers of goods and services desired by a consumer market. This in itself is changing our global economy and shifting the business world into a frenzy of sharks. These students in many ways are more capable of maneuvering the market place than generations past. This documentation is fascinating as well as motivating for a soon to be teacher to examine. In my mind technology unlocks the potential of our youth, if the key is presented with the knowledge of ethical behavior our future can and will project far more advances than conceivable.
