Abstract

Chapter 1 grounds understandings of creative digital video and media production in schools, foregrounding claims made for a wider view of literacy that incorporates multimodal expression and film-making. It is argued that collaborative practical media work should be a cross-curricular entitlement that encourages learners’ social, critical and cultural participation. It introduces innovative pedagogic practices in formal and non-formal school spaces, and provides an overview of the social and political forces at play in relation to making with digital media.

Notes

  1. 1.

    There is much to be learned from the devolved nations: the revised Northern Ireland curriculum (NI DOE 2010) implemented since 2007, mandates ‘media rich’ and ‘active, hands on’ learning experiences. Equally, within Welsh (Donaldson 2015) and Scottish (Curriculum Review Group 2004) curricula, the expressive arts, including digital media and moving image, claim to be of central importance.
