Do Now #28: Art and Ecology

This is one of my long-term ambitions for Moncton Free Press (from Matthew Williams): "I recently launched at KQED Public Media in the Bay Area. Each week on KQED Edspace (our education blog) we offer KQED Do Now, an activity for students to engage with current issues using Twitter. Each week, we focus on a specific area - civics, government and policy, science, and arts and cover a story based on that topic. We provide a brief introduction to the topic, embed a media resource, and ask a question for students to discuss... It is an excellent opportunity for educators to integrate civic engagement and digital citizenship skills into the curriculum." Of course - I see a bit further, where students source and write their own stories, and the role of the professional journalist changes from someone who writes the news to someone who orchestrates community coverage of the news (a much harder task).
