Abstract

‘Explore Locally, Excel Digitally’ is an after-school program based on new media literacies and participatory learning conducted in a Los Angeles high school during spring 2011. The current article offers a comprehensive report of three sessions of the program with detailed descriptions of their creative curricula developed by members of the research team and graduate students. The article contains a detailed examination of how each session's lesson plan connects with the broader theoretical debate on new media literacies, following Henry Jenkins' new media literacies and participatory culture concepts. The article is addressed both to educators who seek inspiration for future projects, and to students and scholars working in the arena of new media literacy and media education interested in links between theory and practice
