Digital Citizenship exists to enact liberal arts education through media authoring. It approaches this task in two ways: by having students use media to understand themselves and their evolving identities; and by having students use media to express their identities, opinions, views and visions outward into culture in order to participate in that culture as informed and engaged citizens. The 'weapon of choice' for this project of citizenship is the collection of capabilities typically housed in any smart phone. This class will make students familiar with various production technologies, but more importantly, it will teach them to understand these technologies as means to participation in culture.
