Empowering Critical Relationships with Media

Session 4

Douglas Herman and Josh Weisgrau — Rough Cut Schools, Science Leadership and Friends Central

Room 1069

There is a place and means in every grade and subject area to help students become more thoughtful consumers and creators of media. Rather than focus on the inherent content of specific media itself, this conversation will leverage the collective wisdom and varied experiences of attendees to help us all better define empowering media experiences for our students.

Conversational Practice

This conversation will be guided by Josh Weisgrau and Douglas Herman of Rough Cut Schools, as well as current and former SLA students who have made the critical leap from consumers to creators of media.

Rough Cut Schools aims to inspire critical and creative approaches to consuming and creating media for all students that will lead to an empowered relationship with media in an overwhelmingly mediated society.
