About this title.

If your goals for your students include inspiring your students and staff to creatively use technologies in authentic situations and to help your students become active participants in their own learning then this package on setting up a television studio in your own school is perfect for you.

Colin starts out by showing you how to make do with the equipment (hardware and software) you already have in your school and shows you how to start up, write the first script and do your first show. The very comprehensive DVD includes templates for use and examples for you to follow. He also talks about how and what to budget for as time goes on, and what else can be included in your shows once you get past the first one.

Whether you're interested in setting up a telelvsion studio to go 'live' three times a week like Marina View School, or want to make a documentary, film, play, even adverts Colin's package will get you swell on the way.

In his book Colin outlines the pedagogy behind what they do, and shows how students and teachers work collaboratively, using high-level critical and thinking skills, to produce material that involves themselves, other students and staff and the wider community. The skills the students learn are assisting them to be life-long learners.
