Welcome
to the Documenting Social Injustice blog. This site is dedicated
to providing you with resources and tools you will use in this class. Tutorials on how to create blogs, video media and podcasts can be found in the above pages. Please keep an eye out for new resources and tutorials and let us know if there is something you would like us to add.
The
column at right features links to websites that deal with topics we
will discuss in class as well as to student blogs, fundraising wikis,
guest speaker's web sites and the DOCSOC Facebook and Twitter sites.
In this class you will learn how to create media in partnership with advocacy groups and classmates to help mobilize people to create change.
This
class is a boot camp for the media activist. We look at documentaries,
media and art-work, present web sites, trailers, share media activist
techniques and learn how to use social media to get our messages out
to a global audience.
Students
create compelling stories with their writings, photographs, video
interviews, and observational recordings, supported with well researched
data, powerful music, and spoken word presentations.
Students
create blogs with their class writings, photo essays and media
projects and share these through different forms of new media and
social networking techniques.
As
we communicate on our blogs, and share media projects on Facebook,
Twitter, and Youtube, we invite you to comment, share your insights and
suggest ways that we can create more effective activist media.
