They will also be prepared to academically compete nationally as the Common Core Standards are designed to prep students for success in community colleges, Institutions of Higher Learning and careers. Transition to Postsecondary Education The latest articulation information for Secondary to Postsecondary can be found at the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) website http://www.mccb.edu/ Best Practices Innovative Instructional Technologies Recognizing that today’s students are digital learners, the classroom should be equipped with tools that will teach students in the way they need to learn. The Digital Media Technology teacher’s goal should be to include teaching strategies that incorporate current technology. To make use of the latest online communication tools such as wikis, blogs, and podcasts, the classroom teacher is encouraged to use a learning management system, for example, the Information Technology Teacher Learning Management System, that introduces students to education in an online environment and places the responsibility of learning on the student. Mississippi CTE Unit Plan Resource Page 15 of 61 Differentiated Instruction Students learn in a variety of ways. Some are visual learners, needing only to read information and study it to succeed. Others are auditory learners, thriving best when information is read aloud to them. Still others are tactile learners, needing to participate actively in their learning experiences. Add the student’s background, emotional health, and circumstances, and a very unique learner emerges. By providing various teaching and assessment strategies, students with various learning styles can succeed. Career and Technical Education Student Organizations Teachers should investigate opportunities to sponsor a student organization. There are several here in Mississippi that will foster the types of learning expected from the Digital Media Technology curriculum. SkillsUSA, TSA, MECA and FBLA are some of the student organizations for Digital Media Technology. These organizations provide students with growth opportunities and competitive events. They also open the doors to the world of Digital Media Technology and scholarships opportunities. Cooperative Learning Cooperative learning can help students understand topics when independent learning cannot. Therefore, you will see several opportunities in the Digital Media Technology curriculum for group work. To function in today’s workforce, students need to be able to work collaboratively with others and solve problems without excessive conflict. Conclusions The Digital Media Technology curriculum is one of Mississippi’s most comprehensive technology curriculums. Students that complete these programs are well equipped for a variety of endeavors. Instructors are urged to encourage Digital Media Technology students to pursue educational opportunities at community colleges and universities in Mississippi.
