IP #4 – Media Convergence

Create a “mind map” (using whatever tool you please) for the concept of ‘media convergence’ that sets out, with examples, the 5 processes of convergence that Jenkins distinguishes. Then, in a <5-minute MAX video (try to go beyond the ‘talking head’ format) explain your mapping of these aspects of media convergence, and conclude with a thoughtful and well-justified account of what you think are some key educational implications of media convergence.
