Course Outline:
The course will deal with aspects of media as it pertains
to teachers. In a sense it will be a media survey course which
looks at four aspects: How media is used, How you can use media
in the classroom effectively, How to make simple media productions,
and Media resources available to teachers. This last aspect will
include field trips to various resource centers like The Provincial
Media Center and Video Inn.
The course combines group discussions with analytical
investigations of media materials, ranging from newspaper articles
and highly edited audio tapes to sophisticated films.
Students will be encouraged to produce an original media
production which they consider relevant using the appropriate media
suited to their ideas. In the event a student would rather examine
a theoretical question surrounding the use of media and its effects
they will be allowed to pursue their interests in written form. The
mark will be based on either of these options.
The course will be kept informal and down.to earth. It will
be designed to meet your special needs by surveying your interests
and reasons for being in the course during the first class. Later
classes will be designed to answer your particular concerns and
interests
The course will also demistify the technology by showing you
how simple it really is and how you can make use of the media tools
available to you in your particular situation.
