Finally I understand it clearly. I can know say I have a fundamental understanding of what the New Media Literacy project is after having a very informative interview with the principal Investigator Henry Jenkins. We had a very interesting lengthy interview, which I will post up in audio format, but due to its length I will also post highlights of the interview in a transcribed version.
Henry Chat1.mp3Henry Chat 2.mp3What is your name and what is your role in NML?I am Henry Jenkins. I guess I'm principal Investigator, which means
that I'm supposed to do the vision thing. I helped to spark the effort
and helped to identify some of the socials skills and cultural
competencies we were working towards. I work closely with every member
of the team and I'm part of the brainstorming intellectual development
around the materials we are working with. But mainly the most important
role is I'm chief propagandist and missionary for NML. I go out and
give talks, I write on the blog, I write articles my job is to get what
we do here at MIT is visible the larger community where its going to
make a difference.
