Hi everyone
I have been thinking on how my teachers continue on with practical media work in years other than 11-12, and came up with this little diddy.
See the attached website:
My plan is to
communicate home with parents of our students
select a film or show that fits the course context we are currently running
Get the class to view it at home
Send them the audio score/tracking
Allocate them each a section to recreate
Get them to do this with their families on any device they can
Get them to return it via a box of some dropped variety or google docs
Edit it, and mark on a basic marking key tbc
View it as a collective when the apocalypse is over
It’s not perfect, but an easy pivot that should get families enjoying the process.
Hope that idea sparks some creativity from teachers!
Regards
Brad
This is a little bit old (something I put together for a TDS conference a few years ago for people only just starting to offer Media Arts 7-10 at schools), but maybe there are a couple of good ideas for your 7-10 classes to keep them going...

Hi Everyone,
Attached are two tasks for Remote Learning Term 2 if it is of any use to anyone.
Feel free to adapt/change as you wish to suit your school context.

Hey everyone!
Piggy-backing on Tom’s Yr 11 Media Ownership Role-Play, I thought I’d share a similar stand-alone activity I have done with Yr 9 or 10.
I gave them each student different media products/ companies, and they had to go and research who the company is owned by (Wikipedia is a good source), and then the class connect them all up on the whiteboard or on Popplet- see attached image (might need some updating!).
Makes the concept physical and visual, and creates interesting conversations.
Kind Regards,

Afternoon All,
Attached if the Media Ownership Role-Play activity that I run. They’re just cue cards with ‘Actions’ on them – I would suggest checking and possibly editing this. If you have a small class (10 or less), you can just reduce the number of organisations and networks in the activity 😊
Warm Regards,

Hi ATOMW,
Year 6 visits at my school go for about 30-40 mins, and it's really hard to get the engagement and a fun production.
So. It's a bit of effort and prep work, but the kids remember it for years.
I often start with an OKGO music video (who doesn't love that?)
I present the boring bits (high school, subjects, courses).
Then under each seat is an envelope with a dance moves (prop optional) and a number.
Outside I place stickers with numbers on them.
Students must stand on their number and perform their dance move.
I go around playing Happy by Pharell Williams and record in one take.
I spend 2 mins editing it in front of them, and we watch.
I export it for them by the end of their day and they take it back to their primary schools to show at graduation etc.
It's a tonne of fun, and the primary schools really appreciate it too!
Kind Regards,
Madeline Abbott
