This package of files (Mediactive Lesson Plans — a zip archive of about 18MB) is for teachers who want to help their students become more media literate in this digital age.
The package includes:
- Lesson plan documents (Word format)
- PowerPoint presentations
- WordPress files that let you easily create a WordPress.com site based on Mediactive. (Here’s a screenshot of what you’ll see after importing the file into a new WordPress install:
The lesson-plan project was created by Kristy Roschke, a former high-school teacher who’s now getting her PhD at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication; and Josh Sprague, who came up with the idea of creating a WordPress version. Huge thanks to both of them!
I hope you’ll find these useful — and that your students will, too. And please let us know how we can improve these teaching aids.
My mom isn’t the most technical person so I’ve been looking around for something that she can use with her students yet not be too technical for her. These lesson plans look perfect for her. Thanks!
