What would your answer be if you're asked about democracy ?
Do you want to know how to effectively deliver the concept of democracy through media and technology?
Do you want to have fun with good people and free food?
Well, the Second Edit Jam hits Teacher’s College ! In case you missed last year's and you still don’t know what it is, let us bring you up to date : it’s a fun, creative and enriching experience !
What's Edit Jam?
It is an event organized by EdLab's Media Design Center. Even if you missed the previous edition, now you have a chance to catch it up; come and learn democracy with media and technology!
This year, the event refers to Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" (a film about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath in New Orleans). The HBO documentary film is complemented by the Teaching the Levees curriculum project created by TC faculty, students and staff. The project is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and will be available by next fall.
What can you do at the event?
You can not only watch how artists are working, but also join them and get unique educational experiences while using new technology, media and ideas.
Who's coming ?
You will meet video artists and creators of the Teaching the Levees curriculum project. Also, live musicians and the Nuyorican poet Mundo Rivera are expected to come. If you participate, you will be involved in the creation of videos concerning democracy by using different media. Your work will be recorded and broadcast to the world in spring.
Extras?
Free food no matter if you come for 15 minutes or all 3 hours.
When and where?
March 2 2007 5-8pm; Teachers College, Columbia University, Gottesman Libraries 5th Floor.
