Last year, Knight Foundation funded the James L. Knight School of Communication at Queens University of Charlotte, in order to  develop programs to teach digital and media literacy to its students and the community, a priority of Knight's journalism and media innovation program. We recently blogged about the ways in which the school's students have started teaching digital and media literacy to Greater Charlotte. The following post, written by Van King, dean of the school, and Dr. John A. McArthur, assistant professor, details a recent workshop where students shared what they're learning about digital life with residents of Myers Park, a nearby neighborhood. King and McArthur: Raahil Djhruva reached out gently across the generational divide and helped a community member learn how to use Skype so he could communicate with his daughter. Dhruva, a junior at Queens University of Charlotte from London, England, called the experience “an emotional moment.” His was one story of many. Along with a team of students in the James L. Knight School of Communication, Dhruva volunteered to teach digital and media literacy skills to residents of Myers Park, the university’s neighborhood. Through a new partnership with Myers Park Home Owners Association, the school offered a digital and media literacy session entitled "My Digital Life: Social media meets personal privacy" on Oct. 12. The school’s Knight-Crane Convergence Laboratory was filled with curious residents, eager to learn and to share their questions and worries about the Digital Age. Dr. John A. McArthur, an assistant professor in the school, led a discussion about social media and privacy, providing the context of Marshall McLuhan’s predictions come true and citizens’ growing need to keep up with rapid change. After the discussion, communication students and attendees met shoulder to shoulder at the computers.
