Social Networks and NZ Media Resources

Have you been to Youtube? , created a space on Bebo or Facebook? Have you put up your digital photos on Flickr? Have you created a Wikispace or a Blog of some kind? Online communities may not be your thing (and what teachers have the time to do this, you might ask.) But there are lots of fantastic sites to go to that you can use for learning and teaching.

Here are some ideas and places to go to…we will add to this as the conference goes on and you can add to it yourself. We suggest you start with the following NZ Media sites:

TKI Media Studies Community website
www.tki.org.nz/r/media_studies

NAME (National Association of Media Educators)
Has its own basic website that gives basic links to competitions and resources. http://www.name.org.nz

Mediascape

The other home grown media education space, Mediascape is worth a look, especially on the literacy and parent advocacy line. http://www.mediascape.ac.nz

You Tube on Film, Life and the Media Industry

There are some real fun clips on Youtube about film: Try : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOGSD-j6UgI&mode=related&search= for quotes from movies. And a great one using numbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FExqG6LdWHU

Youtube is most worthwhile for picking up videos that you can’t find elsewhere.

Here are some areas that it has been useful:

1) teaching about life, attitudes and social climate in the 1950s for studies of genre and society or of historical readings of particular films. Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGnRgCC70RU “Choosing for happiness “ for attitudes to women and marriage, but there are lots of sites of old educational “Health Ed” movies and advertisement that are really great and deal with attitudes to sex, marriage, dating, women, roles in society etc.

2) Media Industry: Ownership and the new digital future: here’s a short clip that might stimulate some discussion about ownership of industry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uljvh9M0FH0 Movie Monkey and Our digital future

3) Media Industry: impact of sequels on the production of films in Hollywood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JHhGyrXmng There are quite a few similar ones to this, and also quite a lot about The MPAA and the ratings of film.
