Description

City of Glasgow College ran a course on blogging this September.
Autumn 2016 marks the moment blogging has become a subject of formal learning, something like 'study table, a 'discipline,' a college qualification, a practice with more to it than pushing 'Records,' breaking the Fourth Wall, and "flying by the seat of your pants

" The sub-textual message:

the path to potential YouTube stardom might just be helped by a fraction of 'classical training.'
Is Glasgow College jumping on a 'fad,' riding a bandwagon craze in a Selfie Age where we all carry audio-visual means in our pockets? Or is Glasgow recognizing the above-water tip of the zeitgeist and stating itself a first-mover in what will become a more widespread field of learning?
Perhaps more fundamentally, is a class teaching blogging and "how to become a YouTuber" broken logic – because how can you teach online eccentricity and how to have a 'big personality that can cross the divide and become captured content? Where George Bernard proposed the paradox that "youth is wasted on the young," is Glasgow's latest course a paradox in reverse, the 'Oldies' just not getting what it's all about, trying to teach aspiring YouTubers, a set of old tricks that don't apply?

Whether we attend a class in it or not, all of us (of all ages) should take the occasional pause and consider how we represent ourselves digitally and how others may perceive us online.

We 'upload-share-comment-like' with daily enthus iasm: every online act saying something about us and adding to the self-portrait.

Institutions offering courses that help young people consider how they fairly and healthily present themselves (digitally) are reasonable and astute.

Where growing up naturally involves taking a few missteps, Social Media can become a mean-spirited companion.

The second positive point, I believe, relates to 'craft skills.' They'll comfortably discuss their school's role in preparing for the unknown and equipping children to walk future career paths that don't exist.

So Glasgow College's latest curriculum addition is a new data point in a trend line that shows a form of creative expression and an Influencer Marketing industry in evolution.

You can teach film-making, story-telling, and screenwriting. You can teach video editing and documentary-making.
