Media Education Project
Media Education Project
Media Education Project investigates the role of media, information and communication technologies (ICTs) within (and for) Canadian education systems. Our assessment begins with an inquiry into current discourse that considers education theory, cultural diversity, economic inequity, and other related digital divides and the potential impacts on media education. With particular attention to educators’ experiences, education practices and within the context of the province of Ontario’s mandated media curricula, our mission is to inquire how Canadian teachers and students are engaging with media and ICTs in the classroom, and how an engagement with ICTs functions within a broader context of teaching and learning.

PhotoTrackr Mini geotagging device shrinks down, adds Mac and RAW support
PhotoTrackr Mini geotagging device shrinks down, adds Mac and RAW support
Looking for a geotagging solution that doesn't discriminate based on what kind of camera you have? Looking for one that can fit snugly into your Fifth Pocket? The PhotoTrackr Mini looks to be that very device, boasting a diminutive thumb drive-esque appearance and the same geotagging technology as found in the original. Put simply, the device works by syncing the time of your camera with bundled software; when you're back from a shoot (a shoot where your device also was), you just allow the application to figure out where a given shot was snapped at what time. There's also Mac and RAW file format support on this model, neither of which were compatible with the prior version. Pre-orders are being accepted now at $69, and the first shipments are expected to go out next month.

Simon & Schuster, the publisher of Ernest Hemingway and Stephen King, is working with a multimedia partner to release four “vooks,” which intersperse videos throughout electronic text that can be read — and viewed — online or on an iPhone or iPod Touch. And in early September Anthony E. Zuiker, creator of the television series “CSI,” released “Level 26: Dark Origins,” a novel — published on paper, as an e-book and in an audio version — in which readers are invited to log on to a Web site to watch brief videos that flesh out the plot.
