New Medias and Learning

From the reading in my 21^st illiteracies group I like the fact that online users support each other in the many hybrid-genres they are using to write and tell stories. In fact those hybrid-genres are pretty complex to write because certain elements are taken and used to create new genre. I am so amazed that writers seek help of other fellow writers of the genre and critique each others’ work, what is more amazing is these people write for pleasure, there are really very few incentives to write but the idea that people choose too is awesome.

I am learning that media is a complex medium to intergraded into the classroom because when those mediums are used to complete an assignment new grading factors come into play when trying to evaluate a students work. I thought it would be easy to find new online mediums to use as a part of teaching.  The sites I have found were Bookemon.com to create your own online book and Ujam.com to make music. I think these sites are great but how to evaluate as students us of these mediums in compliance with completing the assignment.
