Digital CultureDigital Culture This is a FUNDAMENTALY different environment
than the one we grew up in.
It’s a 600-channel TV universe.
It’s a 10,000 station radio universe accessible online.
It’s an 8,000,000,000 plus page internet.
World events can be viewed as they occur on TV

Effect On TeachingEffect On Teaching While students are digital natives anyone 30 or older is an
immigrant with a digital accent
When students walk into our classrooms they will be able to discern our accents and sometimes because of the degree of that accent they disconnect
Teachers tend to unconsciously assume that students’ skills are not as good and they are not as literate as teachers because the students don’t seem to value or prioritize the teachers’ literacies
Younger teachers may have grown up in the digital age, but their educational institutions modeled a non- digital model of education

Broadcast motion design artists create the graphics used in multimedia or television broadcasting to display sports statistics, animated
logos, and advertising. CG programmers create the coding instructions that bring the characters to life. Character animators analyze the way people and creatures move and use specialized software to create a simulation of that
movement on the screen. Digital painters use traditional and digital painting techniques to create textures, flats, character patterns, and colors as well
as retouching and enhancing computer renderings. Lighting specialists create the effects of light and shade that make animation look real. Render wranglers manage the computer process that takes the work created by animators and artists and creates the final
images suitable for scan out to film. Special effects animators produce special effects, such as tornadoes, or exploding asteroids
