This document summarizes the findings of an online survey of 62 media management educators from 14 countries. It identifies the key themes, pedagogical approaches, and challenges in media management education. The top themes taught are strategic management, business models, and market structure. Active learning principles are commonly applied, including case studies, group projects, and online communication tools. Educators perceive staying up to date with industry dynamics and addressing interdisciplinarity as the greatest challenges. International experience and approaches increase with factors like age, experience, and teaching load.
The document summarizes the curriculum development of the Media Management master's program at the University of Tampere. It provides details on the funding and structure of the program since its launch in 2008. It describes the courses offered, number of student cohorts enrolled, and thesis topics completed. It also discusses the pedagogical approach and notes the curriculum will be revised in 2014 to better integrate the program within the wider faculty.
Queen Victoria ruled from 1837 to 1901 during the Victorian era, known for strict morality and the height of the British Empire. She married Prince Albert in 1840 and had nine children. Several attempts were made on her life. During her reign, Britain gained control of India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada as territories of the expanding empire. Upon her death, she left behind a large royal family that included future kings of England, Spain, Germany and other countries in Europe.
Mouth That Roars believes that young people, who are often marginalized, can provide thoughtful perspectives when given the opportunity. They use participatory filmmaking and media education to encourage active participation among youth ages 11-19 in the UK, Europe, Middle East, India, and North Africa. This allows young people to challenge common misconceptions about them and produce their own viewpoints.
The document discusses using new media tools in teacher education to provide access to alternative resources, a global point of view through online discussions, and new tools for classrooms through media presentations. It outlines a course with three parts: deconstructing media, researching using media, and constructing media through oral history projects and multimedia presentations. The course aims to have preservice teachers teach, learn and produce literacy using 21st century tools.
This document discusses character education and its importance, especially with the rise of technology. It defines character education as teaching values like civics, manners, and critical thinking. The document emphasizes that character education is crucial because many students do not receive it at home. It also explores how teachers can use technology tools like social media, YouTube, and blogs to promote good character. The conclusion reiterates that character education aims to help students understand and act upon core values, since many may not learn this from home.

Media literacy in the 21st century isacs 2012lmittler
This document discusses skills needed for success in the 21st century. It identifies seven key skills: critical thinking, collaboration, agility, initiative, communication, analyzing information, and curiosity. Media literacy is also discussed as an important competency. Students should develop skills with technology tools, build relationships to solve problems, design information for various audiences, and manage multiple streams of data. Developing these skills will help students learn through experience and apply their knowledge.
Critical Distance and Participatory ImmersionRenee Hobbs
Renee Hobbs spoke about "Critical Distancing and Participatory Immersion in Online Learning for Media Literacy." Paper presented at the 2007 ICA China Communication Forum, "Harmonious Society, Civil Society and the Media," Beijing, China. October 20, 2007.
The document discusses stimulating creative thinking through educational games and storytelling across transmedia platforms. It explores how creativity is important for innovation and career success. Transmedia uses multiple media like films, games and apps to tell interconnected stories. Storytelling engages students and helps them learn and remember concepts. The document proposes researching how to develop an educational transmedia game for ages 7-12 that encourages creative thinking through meaningful stories. It outlines methods like interviews and testing with students and experts.
A passionate student is a learning student. As the people of the world are becoming increasingly connected, the nature, use, ownership, and purpose of knowledge are changing in profound ways. Our goal as educators is to leverage these connections and changes as powerful means to improve teaching and learning in our schools. Come join in a discussion of why we should all have a sense of urgency for shifting classroom practice toward more engaging approaches that unleash the passion that lies within each student.
This document discusses ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in education. It provides definitions of ICT as technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications, similar to IT but focused on communication. Education is defined as teaching specific skills and imparting knowledge, judgement, and wisdom from generation to generation. The document then discusses some 21st century skills that are important for students to learn, including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It provides a few sentences explaining the importance and purpose of each skill.
Norm Gayford presented on the history and challenges of technical writing courses, particularly those offered online or through distance learning. He discussed how the field has evolved through different modalities like telecourses and online learning. Some challenges discussed included engaging students in online discussions and conversations, as well as ensuring students understand conventions in their fields. The presentation argued for taking an artistic/creative approach to technical communication and online learning. It also highlighted some common misconceptions about how students learn best.
This document discusses 21st century skills and their importance in education. It defines 21st century skills as a broad set of knowledge, skills, work habits, and character traits critical for success in today's world. These skills are grouped into three categories: learning skills (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity), literacy skills (information literacy, media literacy, technology literacy), and life skills (flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, social skills). The document argues that explicitly teaching these skills better prepares students for a changing world and economy defined by rapid technological change, globalization, and the need to constantly adapt. While some debate the specific skills and how to teach them, there is broad agreement that students today require different abilities than
Maggie Garrard, the Curriculum Manager at the Australian Children's Television Foundation (ACTF), gave a presentation about the ACTF and its educational resources and programs. The ACTF is a national non-profit organization funded by the government to provide entertaining and educational media for Australian children. It has screened programs in over 100 countries and won over 100 awards. The ACTF focuses on using media to encourage learning in areas like critical thinking, language development, and values. It aligns its resources to the Australian curriculum and considers theories of learning.
This document summarizes a presentation on 21st century learning and media advocacy. It discusses why advocacy is important, as well as some common problems with advocacy like ignorance, fatigue, lack of empathy, and information overload. It then provides examples of 21st century skills like collaboration, sharing, integrity, openness and interdependence. It also discusses principles of media education according to David Gauntlett and skills for participatory culture outlined by Henry Jenkins. Finally, it discusses using real clients and authentic audiences for advocacy work and potential distribution methods.
As someone who has taught technical writing at the community college level since 1989, seeing it morph and move through various iterations nudged and guided by changes in technologies, settings/venues, politics, and pedagogy, I will present a discussion of the history and current challenges in eLearning modality and how we attempt to achieve those technical communication hallmarks. The goal is to strengthen and ‘repaint’ the bridge between education and professional practice, making the case that the seeming ‘pragmatism’ of technical writing enables its survival.
The document discusses social learning and the nature of planning. It defines social learning as concepts that humans apply from childhood to understand their place in society by observing others. Social learning shapes fundamental beliefs and occurs through observation, assessment, imitation and identification. The nature of planning is discussed as the fundamental management function of deciding objectives and developing courses of action to achieve goals. It involves creative thinking and determining future actions. References are also provided.
The “Creative Thinking for the 21st Century” presentation, given at the AFACCT Conference in January 2015, examined how educators can embed 21st century skills into their teaching curriculum. The goal was to show that by using innovative teaching and learning processes students gain skills in collaboration and team building, enhanced communication through presentation, and applied analysis of information. Teaching and learning strategies to engage students to think differently about their own learning and to move beyond critical thinking to creative thinking was emphasized.
Three classic stories from another point of viewmellkell
The document summarizes a study on using creative writing and visible thinking routines to encourage kindergarten students to rewrite classic fairy tales from different perspectives. The study involved activities using the "See-Think-Wonder", "Step Inside", and "I used to Think...Now I Think" routines to help students examine character stereotypes. Results found that the routines improved students' ability to analyze stories, develop empathy, and reflect on changed perspectives. Technology tools like Kidspiration and Comic Strip Creator supported students' thinking and storytelling. The study demonstrated the value of creative writing and visible thinking approaches in developing students' higher-order thinking skills.

Current and potential role of media
learning within primary school
classrooms.
4. Media literacy: access, analyse, critically evaluate and create media
Those perceiving the world either through emotions, senses, or intuition
superiorly to rational thinking (Jung, 1921[1991]), the cognitive-rationalist
curriculum of traditional education insistently forces them to experience
the world in a way that is not their own.
5. Educate the whole person, in all his or her emotional,
cultural, social and sensory-motoric complexity
6. Holistic and complex relationship with media playing socially, emotionally and
culturally important role in the classrooms.
7. Transmedia storytelling: Fans following their favourite characters ‘wherever they
appeared’ and each platform making ‘a unique and original contribution to the
experience as a whole’ (Jenkins, 2013, p.6).
The combination of varied activities, strategically
managed by the children themselves
8. 1] Exercised and practised their coordination: dancing, playing games,
e-acting film scenes or game scenarios
2] A complex process of thinking: exchanging collectible cards, teaching
each other, discussing
Boy (8 years): ‘I don’t think games can make you
violent but my mum told me that. I think maybe
because they’re so much fun, and that some kids
never stop playing the murdering games, then they
actually want to do it and then you cannot stop.’
Researcher: ‘Do you think it could happen to you?’
Boy: ‘I don’t know, I’m addicted to games, so
maybe. I don’t really want to. I want to be free, not
in jail. I want to get a job. I want to be freeman!’
Girl (8 years): Angry Birds is a bird that you swing, they’re
like trapped birds, and you like to swing them on, so that
they crash into boxes, and because they’re trapped in the
cages when all the birds can go out, you set them free.
When you’re done, like when you hit anything, they
explode, like a knock out.
Researcher: Why do they explode?
Girl: I don’t think we’re killing them [thinking] I think they
explode, because they want to die.
Researcher: Why do you think they want to die?
Girl: I think they’re unhappy, because they were trapped.
9. [3] Reflecting and acting on feelings
how ‘bad Miley Cyrus felt when she
thought people liked her only as
Hannah Montana’
‘I like theatre more than a movie
theatre, because you’re more in the
moment if you’re at a play’
‘McDonald is where I never go,
because it’s sad they cut down trees
for burgers. My sister searched that
on the Internet and she told me. I’ve
been there, but I’ll never go again.’
Covering eyes, changing channels,
closing windows…
[4] Sociocultural environment
What is better to do alone and what
with somebody.
‘Sesame Street is for babies’, ‘girls
love Justin Bieber’, ‘boys like
superheroes’, ‘it’s a family
comedy’, ‘these are Czech
fairytales’, ‘CNN is more for
Americans than BBC’, ‘we don’t
have Santa Claus like Coca Cola
shows in Christmas’, ‘families
without money can’t buy Xbox’
10. Learning through their own experiences how to
manage their, as well as their peers’, media lives
‘the responsibility for’, ‘the control off’, ‘the
process of dealing with’, ‘achieving goals’, and
‘efficiency’
Ideally be used to ‘see what it is ready for, and
upon what material [learning] could work most
readily and fruitfully’ (Dewey, 1987)
Media management education on all levels
should facilitate the learners’ individual and
collective reflections on their and the others’ life
with, through, and in media.
The holistic media management teaching and
learning drawing upon reflective and leaner-
centred pedagogic practices might as well be the
right approach to educating new generations of
media leaders setting the trends and managing
complex processes within the convergent and
participatory media environments.
11. Creative learning and earning to be creative
an authentic, and on a personal level innovative,
problem-solving and communication
12. A crew worked on specific long-
term projects and were called upon
during the day to run crew, direct
and produce other in-classroom
projects across all grades.
10% of children live below the
poverty line
13. ‘quiet on the set’,
‘action’, ‘cut’,
‘change camera
angle’, or ‘we need
better light’
15. FUTURE MEDIA PLATFORMS
ASSIGNEMENT:
Students on the course are asked to identify two future media platforms and
prepare an in-depth critical analysis on the ways in which these innovations can
together allow their own/employers’/clients’ business to benefit from one
emerging trend (e.g. convergence, remediation, participation, interactivity,
transmedia storytelling, life in media, community meaning-making, etc.).
A portion of the assignment (equivalent to 1000 words) should be devoted to
creation of a media artefact for, or distributed across, these platforms and building
upon the chosen trend.
