Media Remix

Late last year a textbook I have been working on with my colleague, Anita Jetnikoff, was published. It is called Media Remix: Digital Projects for Students. It is aimed at middle years students (years 5-9) and is made up of 24 projects. We wrote to book for a couple of reasons. We wanted to provide our pre-service media education students with a resource that demonstrated how to plan practical media production activities for students. We also felt that there was a real lack of resources for media literacy activities for students in this age range. We also wanted to show how media education concepts could be explicitly taught through practical activities. We are very pleased with the final result and are happy that it seems to be making its way into schools.
