Therefore: - How is digital literacy non-linear? - If exploration is non-linear, how do we decide which direction we take? Is there a 'random' element? What are the 'distracting' elements? A fundamental skill is the ability to find what you are looking for, and identify reliable sources of information: - How does searching for media differ from searching for text in this regard (see for example http://www.edutube.org for video search) - Which is more difficult and why? - When is the information (answers) you are looking for more suitable in the form of video / text / pictures / interactive. Why? Give examples. Some great questions here :)

Our site (one of Bud's favorites;)) is thinking about partnering with http://www.moviestorm.co.uk and would like to understand if it would interest 9th graders. Or keep it inline with 10-12 grades (and anyone older who is interested in contributing), My question would be creating movies for edu (or any current event/prevention issues) be interesting for 9th graders to explore and build upon.
