| Using digital media in the classroom (July 2005) |
| Digital media is motivating and empowering for learners of all ages. Through its annual Creativity in Digital Media Awards, Becta has produced a DVD for schools which aims to inspire teachers and help release their pupil's creative potential.
The DVD is designed to provide practical help for teachers who would like to use digital media in their classroom. It covers three areas - Digital Music, Digital Still Images and Digital Video - and demonstrates how each form of digital media can be incorporated into exciting and creative projects to support the curriculum. Each section can be explored individually or combined with the other digital media types into new multimedia projects. |
