The answer, I suppose, to the question I asked in the last post is obvious: folks just don’t think of “media” as a means of education. I can prove it by pointing you to the program here of the Media Summit going on today and tomorrow in New York City. Education is not on the agenda for the media heavies even to discuss. I got a little excited when I did see “The University Project” listed. Turns out, as it says here, that project is about: “Developing the next generation of Entertainment, Media & Technology Thinkers and Visionaries.”
There is not an inkling of how to use media to teach or deliver knowledge about astronomy, algebra, history, science or any other subject you learn in school. Kids spend their childhoods in non-media institutions. That’s wrong.
