Case 08 — Live Streaming and Real-Time Media Literacy

Overview

Transition Point

2000s YouTube (see 2010 folder cases) was edit then upload by default. 2015 live streaming made this very moment the content. Consumption and production shifted from “finished writing and video” → “watching an unfolding scene together”.

Literacy Improvement Mechanisms

1. Spoken composition: Impromptu presentation that guides a sequence with words
2. Comment communication: Etiquette for real-time conversation with viewers
3. Making thinking visible: The ability to narrate while running or demonstrating
4. Awareness of records: The digital footprint left by going live

Field Operation Tips

• Simulate a program with a three-minute live introduction
• Adjust difficulty for unfamiliar participants: record first, then share
• Output: a live script (opening / main / closing) in one page
