We aim to provide teachers and students with the necessary tools to function effectively as creative citizens in a multi-modal, technological public sphere. Students need tools to allow them to understand how their own minds respond to media messages, to understand the effect of such messages on the community, and to develop effective skills in engaging themselves in the emerging participatory public sphere of the Internet.
