Media+Production


 * Media Production**

Media production involves the use of a variety of technological and media tools for student- created work that conveys information or represents a culminating performance or project. Tools used in media production include cameras, video or digital editing equipment, television, video players, audio recorders and players, slide projectors, computers, and the appropriate software required to use these tools. Media productions provide the opportunity to integrate and present text, graphics, sound, video, and animation in unique and exciting ways. The use of technological tools for media production encourages students and teachers to learn new skills, solve problems, create and demonstrate new ways of learning, extend thinking in flexible and challenging ways, and reflect on their products. Students learn by creating products using emerging skills and by talking about and reflecting on their products.
 * Description**

The teacher:
 * Method**
 * models the appropriate use of media productions for teaching and learning in the classroom (e.g., using only appropriate clips rather than the entire video to demonstrate a point);
 * provides access to required equipment and instruction in it;
 * provides appropriate topics, access to information sources, and a framework for the creation of media works;
 * confers with students to monitor progress and assist with problems encountered; ensures that students have a basic understanding of the components of media presentations;
 * encourages creativity in presentations and products;
 * reinforces the key components of media literacy so that content is respected and not sacrificed for extraneous technological innovations.

Media productions:
 * Considerations**
 * require access to appropriate equipment for the proposed format of the production;
 * require that students have an understanding of issues of bias, stereotyping, violence, point of view, and manipulation as they relate to their own works.
