Media Ecology for Educators: An Introduction

This podcast serves as an introduction to the field of media ecology, particularly to those who are interested in applying some of the contributions from its main scholars to the field of education. I attempt to weave some of the main scholars’ key concepts from the field of media ecology into a web directly pertaining to educational technology and shed light onto how these ideas might translate into a media ecology pedagogy for an audience new to these concepts. This podcast is about three big questions: What is Media Ecology? Why is it important to study media? What useful approaches might students and teachers take to better understand media?
