Last week, my STEAM students learned about history using memes culture. We brainstormed and looked at pictures and created the memes. They made Memes that changed the way we perceive history and created memes based on the current climate of today’s world. We learned about social justice using memes.
As an educator and a comedian, it has been very inspiring to watch their creative process as the students have been able to create funny and educational memes. I provide them with the tools and watch their creativity as they create their memes. My students are becoming visual learner. They are are able to express their views on current events using memes.
I look forward to see their continued growth as we move forward creating stories with memes.
DIVAS (Digital Interactive Visual Arts Sciences) for Social Justice aims to bridge the digital divide by combining media literacy and cultural awareness along with a vast understanding of technology to encourage young women in under served communities to pursue careers in computer science and new media.
