Can Media Studies have a positive effect? I'd like to think that it can - and does.
With this blog we will be attempting to clarify many of the issues confronting Media Studies Teachers and Students. From lack of technical know-how to being overwhelmed by the incredible amount of resources available; from the problem of lack of time to adequately research (or even comprehend) rapid changes in technology, and it's ethical uses to the fact that many students naturally understand how these technologies work and how they are used and yet seem to have no understanding of the implications of their use.
MSTFPC hope to remove the fear of technology inherent within many experienced Media Studies Teachers and provide a forum for discussion with peers and Media Professionals.
Great idea for a blog Nigel. I'm also an advocate for raising the profile of Media Studies as an academic and vocational / applied discipline.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how I can get involved and please keep me posted with new ideas and technologies. I will spread the word in the UK communities for Media Studies.
Kind regards, Richard Gent
