Online workshops 2012

Online workshops "Video education - video production and media education"
March - November 2012

Are you interested in the use of video in your classroom? Join our new series of workshops starting in March 2012. We will continue what we have started in 2011 with different activities. There will be three longer online workshops with tasks to do between each of the workshop. You can join for all or just one, all is open and flexible. At the moment we are planning to have three sessions:

• Session 1 "Photo stories" (in March 2012)
• Session 2 "Video news" (in May 2012)
• Session 3 TBA (in October 2012)

The courses will be a useful support to bring video into your classroom or to use video as part of your eTwinning or Comenius project. All will be done asynchronous, which means that you can choose the time when you want to work on the tasks. Activities will include short camera exercises, exploring online video tools, editing with Movie Maker / iMovie, uploading, embedding and exploring extended YouTube features. The course is based on the ideas of the viducate project and will take place on the web20erc.eu learning platform and connect with our new partner project "Crealle" (languagelearning.eu).

The workshops are free of charge but you will need to apply via email (no deadline). You will receive an electronic certificate after you have finished the full course programme.

What is video education?

The viducate network has produced an extensive collection of papers focussing on the theme of video and media education. The papers include conceptural ideas, an insight into European perspectives and a section with best practise examples pointing out how video education can be put into practise across different educational sectors.

We have a limited amount of free printed versions, but you will need to cover the postage. Please contact us if you are interest in a copy. Please pass the document on to your colleagues and let us know if you are interested in a future publication of similiar kind.

Videos

Viducate is about video in education and the best starting point is our best practise video gallery. The gallery contains selected material linked with the themes of creativity, active citizenship and intercultural communication. It also offers video documenting the project and interviews with partners.

The gallery provides also further pedagogical background information - who has produced the video, what is behind it and how can it be transferred to other educational sectors or learning environments.

Take your time and explore what we have uploaded there and let us know if you have something you would like to see included there.

Viducate Network

he viducate network - an initiative to promote video education across all educational sectors in Europe.

Our vision is: "Viducate is concerned with the development of active citizenship in intercultural contexts at all levels of formal and informal education. Video and multimedia form the core of this non-prescriptive pedagogy of production in the information society."

Welcome to viducate - the team presentation from the kick-off meeting in Segovia / Spain in 2009.

Viducate courses in Berlin

The European Commission has granted two more media educational courses with the focus of video production in Berlin in 2011 and 2012. The courses are for teachers from Europe (but not Germany). Interested teachers can apply for funding through their national Socrates / LLP Agency. More information about the courses can be found on here.
