Types of Experiences

Experiences with new media that people are having?



· Lessons we can learn from these new experiences?

New forms of community: New ways of connecting with people, linking people in ways we’ve never been linked before.

New forms of expression (user-generated content): people are producing in ways never able to before (books, videos, remixes, mash-ups).

New forms of working together: People are sharing, trading, collaborating in ways never possible before.



The need for EE is greater now more than everMichael Wesch, Kansas StateUniversity:

Media is not content or tools ofcommunication, media mediate humanrelationship. When media change,human relations change.

Lessons from new media help usadvocate for the value of learning from our experiences to expand experiential education programs, in terms of:

• Tools available• Content• Ways of working• Understanding changes in human relations
