From the editors' preface:
"Understanding new media is almost impossible for those who aren't actively involved in the experience of new media; for deep understanding, actually creating new media projects is essential to grasping their workings and poetics. The ideas described in these selections can open important new creative areas for beginners and professionals alike."

Hi Gardner,
Was that you updating the syllabus? Is this how you are initially planning it for Fall now? I want to follow suit. I'm finalizing our syllabus as I type this. Check in when you get a chance. Who will be joining us?
