Online media lessons


Recently I have found a couple of new online banks of media lessons. One is at the Adobe website - the Adobe Digital Kids Club. This site provides a number of lesson ideas for practical video production. One of the things I like about it is that it focuses on practical video production projects that can be achieved directly in the school environment in relatively short periods of time.

Another is the Open Educational Resources site, which provides examples of lesson plans covered by a Creative Commons licence. This is a site with a number of tools for searching for and sharing educational resources across the curriculum. A search for "media literacy" or "film", for example, presents many lessons related to these topics.
