My name is Wesley Fryer, and I love helping people communicate better with media! I hope you'll find resources here which will inspire and empower you as a digital learner and leader. My primary Twitter account is @wfryer, but I also tweet periodically on @ipadmediacamp, @ipadwithwes, @storychasers and @eyesrightblog.
My "Mapping Media to the Common Core" project is a digital literacy framework including twelve different kinds of multimedia projects learners can create and share to demonstrate mastery and understanding of information in a variety of content areas, at different grade levels, to meet Common Core State Standards.
I published my first eBook, "Playing with Media: simple ideas for powerful sharing," in 2011. We need to play with media to become more effective communicators. I wrote this book to inspire and empower you, as a creative person, to expand your personal senses of digital literacy and digital agency as a multimedia communicator. [LEARN MORE]
Links to referenced resources and "digital handouts" are available on my Presentation Handouts wiki. Please contact me regarding availability and scheduling for a keynote or other presentation for your upcoming event. I offer many of my workshops and breakout sessions as IP/H.323 videoconferences.
If you're don't live in a Common Core state in the United States, my "Mapping Media" digital literacy framework is still relevant and applicable for your teachers and students. The twelve media products which compose the framework can be used by learners in many different contexts to "show what they know" and understand through digital artifacts.
A fairly complete list of the websites I maintain, social networks to which I regularly contribute, and other web 2.0 sites I utilize is available on claimid.com/wfryer, as well as my Google Profile page. [image attribution: Darcy Moore]
