Welcome to the Rosebud Institute

As the Rosebud Institute looks to launch yet another wave of exciting new offerings for screen literacy, I wanted to take a moment to start a conversation of sorts here about what we are doing and where we are heading.

Since so much of how we communicate now is through the screen, we strongly feel that the time to get grasp of screen literacy certainly seems to be now. As mentioned, the Rosebud Institute is committed to making screen-based and motion media literacy accessible, allowing us all to communicate and thrive in an increasingly media-saturated world. Just as we know that writing and speaking skills are keys to functioning in society, we must consider that the future demands proficiency in screen literacy as well.

You can check out more of what we are doing here: http://www.rosebudinstitute.org/
as well as begin sampling some of the work our students have done, both adults and high school students.

And watch here for future posts. We are gearing up to attend next week's EDUCAUSE conference in Chicago and are looking forward to meeting and learning from colleagues there.

Please feel free to join in the conversation. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter as well so stop by and let us know what you're thinking. And tell us, how did you "medi8" today...?
