Dear New Media Caucus friends,

I’m reaching out on behalf of the NMC to express sympathy and solidarity in these tumultuous times. I hope you are staying safe and secure. For those whose own health, or that of loved ones, has been directly impacted by the coronavirus, I offer our deepest condolences.

One of the silver linings of this crisis is the strength and generosity our art and academic communities have demonstrated as we attempt to respond to the shifting demands of our professions and the need to care for ourselves, our families, friends, and local communities. The outpouring of efforts to support each other by sharing valuable experiences and pooling resources, all with compassion and humor, has been profoundly moving.

The NMC would like to help. We are collecting resources from our community members and publishing them via our website. Please use this (quick and easy!) Google form to add anything you’d like to share. The resource page will be updated regularly.

Regards to you in these challenging times.

Jessye McDowell

Toolkit: Leveraging the Smartphone as a creative teaching tool - From Heather Snyder Quinn: Sharing an AIGA paper and corresponding Smartphone Creative Toolkit (open for collab) that I began in 2016. As we adjust to teaching, working and making remotely and want to support various paths to creative and critical making, how can we leverage the smartphone as a creative teaching tool. The paper includes sample projects and the toolkit includes a list of themes, topics and apps. Please feel free to share and add to it. #smartphone #experimentation #design #ethics #openeducation #pedagogy
