Today saw the completion of our Video production summer camp. Ten students from Doncaster took part in this intensive course (accredited by NCFE to two grade Bs at GCSE). Planning, producing and editing their own movies, the students assembled an online blog as a portfolio of evidence.
Using a combination of different cameras and locations, the students made movies in teams of 3 to 5 based on important issues to them. Their final 10 minute film shows a combination of editing techniques and even incorporates some studio work.
Other skills developed during the course include their IT skills, confidence and team building as well as approaches to the Media industry.
They deserve heaps of praise for their achievements; maybe even a plastic OSCAR!
NCFE Video Production is one of our Digital Media Arts projects available at the CLC.
The MathsMeet unconference was held on Thursday night at the CLC and was a great success. Organised by and for maths teachers throughout the region, it was streamed live from the TV Studio to the world.
MathsMeet was an event much in the vein of the popular TeachMeet sessions; around 30 teachers from Sheffield, Lincolnshire and Doncaster signed up at a collaborative web site agreeing to prepare a 5 minute presentation. A further 10 viewers watched live from the Isle of man to the United States, linking socially to the event using Twitter.
Watch this space for interviews of individuals involved in presenting their tips, tools and ideas. Also, we will edit the live footage into bitesized chunks – all to be available on the MathsMeet web site: http://mathsmeet.yolasite.com.
The CLC is proud to support and facilitate these events and look forward to the next challenge!
