Down the Hall – Ep 22 – Duck and Cover
Nov 4th, 2011 by Dave Roy
We all like movies, right? As a society, we immerse ourselves in many forms of media, so much so that it’s only natural that we begin to study it, and its effect on us. Film studies has been a mainstay on college campuses for years, but what about studying media in the K-12 classroom? That’s the discussion topic for this week’s episode, as we delve into our past experiences as well as talking about the state of media studies today. There are some great resources out there for the teacher who wants to bring this to his/her class.
Jenny also talks to Teresa Milden, from the Vancouver School Board, about Gifted Education.
All of this, and the obligatory zombie reference too.
