The Village Has to Show Up — What a Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge Taught Me About Digital Literacy
About this episode
Schnelle Acevedo discusses the importance of community involvement in digital literacy through her experiences with a Girl Scout troop on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
What does a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge have to do with digital literacy? More than you'd think. In this episode, NYC educator and BAM Digital Media founder Schnelle Acevedo shares what happened when she took her Girl Scout Brownie troop on a four-mile walk through Brooklyn — and the most honest conversation about technology she had all year came from the girls, not a lesson plan. If you believe schools alone can close the digital literacy gap, this one will challenge that. The village has to show up.
