This week’s Weekend Ed. Quote features a quote about New Media
Although each medium promises to reform its predecessors by offering a more immediate or authentic experience, the promise of reform inevitably leads us to become aware of the new medium as a medium. Thus, immediacy leads to hypermediacy, the process of remediation makes us aware that all media are at one level a “play of signs,” … New digital media are not external agents that come to disrupt an unsuspecting culture. They emerge from within cultural contexts, and they refashion older media, which are embedded in the same or similar contexts (Bolter & Grusin, 2000).

Posting in observance of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the storming of the beaches at Normandy, June 6, 1944.
A frequent educational focus addresses New Media and its uses in the classroom.
On June 6, 1944, the New Media of that time was radio. Radio connected Americans to news of World War II. Radio was a common media used by the 32nd U.S. President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt’s talks and radio addresses were known as “Fireside Chats.” The Fireside Chat series of evening radio addresses were given by Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944. His final Fireside Chat occurred on June 11, 1944 just a few days after the D-Day battle.
In a radio broadcast, President Roosevelt used his time on radio to pray. He read a National Prayer to 100 million Americans on the evening of the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

Questions for this optional classroom discussion…
Thank you for considering the bravery, and sacrifice of the heroes on D-Day and the way that the New Media of that period helped Americans to feel reassured and hopeful.

In some of my graduate classes, we have been reading about virtual and digital learning and tools to use in instructional practice.
ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chat bot from the company OpenAI came into the spotlight in 2022. ChatGPT is one of a few generative text aggregators available to the public (Dehouche, 2021; Rutter & Mintz, 2023).
Generative text renderers such as ChatGPT, can generate collections of information, and some schools are banning the tool from its devices and networks altogether (Korn & Kelly, 2023).
Some of the ways that generative text can theoretically be used include the following (Dehouche, 2021. Korn & Kelly, 2023; Rutter & Mintz, 2023; Washburn, 2023)… but is this ethical?
Although the ChatGPT marketing indicates that it generates “original” writing, it does not do this because it is solipsistic, or existing only within itself and therefore not reflecting peer-reviewed sources (Teague, 2023). Instead, artificial intelligence chatbots, such as ChatGPT, assembles and renders content based on sources indexed online, based on the prompts it is provided. This process is similar to compiling a Playlist, mixed , or mixed tape. The sources used in compilation may or may not be copyright-free and they may not be peer-reviewed.
