#mediaedchat skills, approaches as learning tools, staff expertise = yes, but gov pressure+new SLT making itharder


Really nice talking Media folk. @mr_m_ellis thanks for the reminder, see you tomorrow, back to some personalstatements now #mediaedchat

@TallisVMA I have looked at your school before. It looks to me like Media has a good profile and is valued. Oram I wrong #mediaedchat


@TallisVMA great idea. How about Media based projects involving collaboration of departments #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat @thecuriousgeek It's that impact our head is looking for. Not always sure subject is valued


@mr_m_ellis I thought I might get a reply from you #mediaedchat


@smanfarr Agree. Seen 2 teachers do the same English lesson. 1 used Media the other didn't. Guess which 1was unsatisfactory #mediaedchat


@thecuriousgeek As you know, I do. The combining of Media as a subject and Media as the use of Technologyvery important #mediaedchat

04-Dec-12 20:48 | mr_m_ellis

#mediaedchat Analytical skills, technical skill, social skills, literacy, world understanding, critical thinking. Soimportant in all areas.

Alas I have to dash, but everything will get recorded and blogged #mediaedchat. please continue discussing andthank you all :)


@thecuriousgeek very few I would suspect #mediaedchat


@andywallis #mediaedchat wouldn't have it any other way!

04-Dec-12 20:41 | smanfarr

Curious. How many of you have a head and curriculum that is supportive of Media and can see it as central tofuture development #mediaedchat


@smanfarr sounds fantastic. Truly embedded across the curriculum, not just for show! #mediaedchat


@thecuriousgeek #mediaedchat gov perception could mean all of us out of job? not teaching subject we love?

04-Dec-12 20:40 | MrsBirks

@andywallis Yes, but we don't have to accept that. If it's right for the students at your school then it's right to offermedia #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat a whole school CPD obligation, tech support staff/teachers go out 'on loan' for projects, do informalskills swaps too


@thecuriousgeek but I agree about changing student perception #mediaedchat


RT @thecuriousgeek @andywallis Why fight to change government perception? I am more interested in studentperception. AGREE #mediaedchat

04-Dec-12 20:38 | mister_seal

@thecuriousgeek because the government is making many attempts to sideline it imo #mediaedchat


RT @thecuriousgeek: @andywallis Why fight to change government perception? I am more interested in studentperception. #mediaedchat


@andywallis Why fight to change government perception? I am more interested in student perception.#mediaedchat


@andywallis The fastest growing degree courses are media the degrees with the highest % straight into jobs aremedia. #mediaedchat


@mister_seal #mediaedchat am ex head of media with 2 ex chief examiners so it's embedded in our sow. Takingit cross curric is vital #plcs


Get together with your head and go see Alan November @globallearner http://t.co/kbsWgeJ2 This WILL win yourhead over #mediaedchat


@smanfarr good way to share practice and promote understanding #mediaedchat


@smanfarr #mediaedchat great idea.need this for English teachers too.and RE/ philosophy. Media across thecurriculum!


@thecuriousgeek agree. But will it not still be ridiculed by the press/government? How can we change that?#mediaedchat


#mediaedchat most parents are very surprised at the skills it provides, but often only realise that during/after, notbefore enrolment!


Every dept should be using media. Why not use PD days to showcase Media T&L strategies and Media Tools atwhole school level #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat @andywallis critical analytical skills def need promoting to students pre enrol and parents andwider community


@steviedm it needs to have the support of the media first #mediaedchat


@mister_seal @andywallis Agree completely - make media visible in school and community #mediaedchat

04-Dec-12 20:27 | mr_m_ellis

#mediaedchat our Head of Media does PLC sessions for MFL teachers who teach film as part of A level. Nowthey use app media lang to frame


The UK leads the world in creativity. The study of Media, especially in a practical context helps producetomorrows creatives. #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat we're all on the same page, but then we would be. The question is how do we convince others ofthe subject's legitimacy?

04-Dec-12 20:26 | steviedm

Our students should leave us able to explain what media has give them - his would help get good message out#mediaedchat

04-Dec-12 20:25 | mr_m_ellis

@andywallis #mediaedchat as it should be. Multi modality is at the heart of diverse T&L strategies I think.#justmyopinion


@andywallis #mediaedchat flaunt kids' skills at every opportunity to anyone who'll listen!

#mediaedchat sorry late to the party! Don't think we should underestimate technology/practical skills egBuckingham's points at mea conf


@smanfarr ability to read different texts: something that Scotland has embedded in their new curriculum for allstages #mediaedchat


@steviedm #mediaedchat colleagues/ parents always surprised by range and sophistication of skills Mediastudents demonstrate


#mediaedchat skills of visual literacy and the ability to read different types of texts. Underpinned by a theoreticalconcepts.


@mister_seal "daunting difficulty" - yes! But Gove & some of the public don't understand that. How can wechange that? #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat Yes. Eg A2 film exam is a challenge - good essay writing skills and high level analytical thinkingneeded. Gove should love it!


we focus our recruitment on skills (range, depth, contemporary-ness, and daunting difficulty!) #mediaedchat


@mr_m_ellis very pertinent point... does Media need to be rebranded? #mediaedchat


@steviedm so therefore do the critical analytical skills need to be promoted? #mediaedchat


@mr_m_ellis in that it's not just watching film and TV?! #mediaedchat


RT @andrewwarnerkms: @andywallis #mediaedchat we live in a media-driven society so media savvy studentscan negotiate their way around it more intelligently

04-Dec-12 20:14 | mr_m_ellis

#mediaedchat @mr_m_ellis: @andywallis I think there is a need to clarify what we mean by Media, which wouldhelp all parties understanding

RT @mr_m_ellis: I think there is a need to clarify what we mean by Media, which would help all partiesunderstanding #mediaedchat


Have witnessed so many students transfer skills gained in media into other subjects #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat Interpersonal skills are under recognised but hugely valuable to life


Why are the skills mentioned so far seen as irrelevant by most? Is it the so-called Mickey Mouse syndrome?#mediaedchat


@andywallis #mediaedchat we live in a media-driven society so media savvy students can negotiate their wayaround it more intelligently

04-Dec-12 20:10 | andrewwarnerkms

@mr_m_ellis regarding the industry. Is that 1 of our main 'battles'? Convincing the media that it's worth beingeducated about? #mediaedchat


@andrewwarnerkms good point, how does it do that? #mediaedchat


We must be cautious over skills such as team-work, organisation etc. Laudable skills but seen as ‘soft’ by Gove &co. #mediaedchat


@mister_seal @rbtmcm I think yu're absolutely right about project/people management #mediaedchat have seenso many students develop


@andywallis project management. Sets us apart from so many other subjects and courses #mediaedchat


@andywallis Project and people management #mediaedchat (forgot hashtag)

04-Dec-12 20:06 | rbtmcm

RT @rbtmcm Project and people management. #mediaedchat


#mediaedchat enhances the social capital (and therefore lifechances) that students have

04-Dec-12 20:05 | andrewwarnerkms

#mediaedchat I think the focus on in depth building of analytical skills is often the most under recognised bynon-subject specialists.


#mediaedchat Media Education offers understanding of how the media industry functions - invaluable when livesare lived through media

04-Dec-12 20:04 | mr_m_ellis

So apart from analytical and practical skills, what does media education offer? #mediaedchat


RT @andywallis: #mediaedchat starting in 5 minutes... “what skills does Media Education offer and how can wecelebrate these skills to change perception?“
