Digital Natives & Education: Effectiveness of New Media as a New Tool of Media Education

Dr. J. K. Panda

Abstract :

 With increasing access and uses of internet enabled services in India, the social ramifications of the uses of these technological tools and services come to the center stage of discussion. Today, the internet driven new/digital media is not only an information resource or an entertainment tool but also a virtual platform or assembly forum of people. As the media education is gaining momentum, and technologies are being modernized day–by–day, the big question is: how will media schools tap the potential of new communication technologies to make media education more effective and interactive? An implication to this question is the ability of social media, which is highly accessible, interactive and user friendly in India, to act as a medium between the student–student, teacher–student and student internee–trainee employer. Most of the media students are using it regularly without exploring its applicability to the field of education. The author of this paper endeavors to suggest some possible ways as to how these tools can be applied to enrich select modules of media teaching in Indian j–schools such as reporting or producing news, etc.
