Below is a reproduction of my VELS comment, which was first posted at http://rachel-ivey.blogspot.com/2011/09/ict-provides-rich-and-flexible-learner.html
"Media truly can use ICT in all its forms to create such a rich learning environment as you have wonderfully pointed out, Rach!
I see the fact students are creators as one of the cornerstones of how ICT can benefit students and how it makes this easier to occur in a Media Studies classroom.
I also think that one of the great things about Media Studies is that as students are creating a film or a manipulated digital photograph or one of the examples you mentioned, the subject forces them to think about intended audience, as you pointed out, so they are consciously aware that their experimentation and risk-taking with ICT must serve the purpose of finding an audience, engaging them and moving them.
Good stuff!"
