Teaching Philosophy
I believe as journalism profession nowadays battles for relevance in the age of information overload, journalism education must also redefine itself to achieve relevance in two main areas: 1) preparing students with an increasingly converged skill set cross media platforms, 2) developing students’ vision as innovators of journalism in the new media environment. Journalism education in the future should equip students with both sensibility and capacity to work in a new media environment by providing a curriculum that mixes mind-set and skill set within new media courses and across media platforms.
Current course
As a teaching assistant, I teach the lab sessions of new media classes. My primary job duty is to provide hands-on instructions of softwares and tools for online news production (e.g. HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Soundslides, Audacity, Final Cut Pro.) and Web marketing analytical tools (i.e. Google analytics)
