Media theorist Marshall McLuhan argued that “the medium is the message.” As a teacher, I feel this daily. Given the choice between a lecture and a YouTube video, which one will help me present the content best? Do I read my students a quote from a book or show them a meme? Which one will have pedagogical power? I use a wide range of media in my classroom. But I’m always aware that the way I’m communicating is just as important as the content itself.
