商品簡介
Bruce, Bishop, and Budhathoki present this volume exploring various aspects of community-building through new forms of media by youth, as observed through the Youth Community Inquiry project based at the University of Illinois. After beginning with a reflection on the diverse forms of community, the first section discusses the ways new technology such as the Internet, GPS/GIS, and new radio/video delivery methods can be used in an educational setting to expand youth awareness of the world and improve pedagogical self-efficacy or on the other hand to constrain discovery. The next two sections address the development of social responsibility, activist consciousness, and integration of the sense of self with society and world through communication with diverse others. The final section wraps up with evaluation of the projects, potential for future work, and personal meaning expressed by participants. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
