J-schools turn to digital tools to teach journalism

In: Web 2.0|academics|education|journalism

14 Oct 2008

Regular readers will know that I was blogging from last week’s Convergence and Society conference at the University of South Carolina.

For PBS Mediashift, I’ve put together a post looking at how journalism schools are using digital tools in the classroom, from geo-tagging to wikis to iPhones:

The educational projects showcased at the Convergence and Society conference offered just a snapshot of what is happening in classrooms across North American universities. They serve as an example of how new technologies are being used to teach new media, tapping into the habits and interests of a digital generation of students.

Please share your ideas either in the comments here or on Mediashift.
