Use of Digital Content in Classrooms


Trends in media aren’t just happening in our living rooms and on our mobile devices, they’re happening in classrooms too. Across the country, educators are responding to the pervasive nature of media in their student’s lives, by incorporating more media in their classrooms.

Joining her on set are Stephanie Laggini Fiore from the Teaching & Learning Center at Temple University; Larry Cocco, Director Educational Technology for New Jersey; and Alicia Cunningham-Bryant, Assistant Director of Special Programs for Intellectual Heritage at Temple.
