Training of Teachers in Media Studies
The media construct and circulate information and organise perception through
sound, screen and print form which help to shape our sense of self and our
relationship with the society. Students now a day are surrounded by media
messages. These messages not only entertain them but they learn a lot through
this constant flow of messages in their life. Teachers who acknowledge this reality
have the opportunity to connect with their students in new and meaningful ways.
Taking cognizance of the fact that teaching in media saturated environment poses
a great challenge as well as enormous opportunities, the institute organised a
training programme on Media Studies for Kendriya Vidyalaya teachers in two
phases. Four training programmes were organised to train teachers in Media
Studies. The first two training programme were organised from 25 to 27 August
2010 and from 7 to 9 September 2010 for public school teachers of Delhi. The
third phase programme was organised from 23 to 25 November 2010 and the
second programme from 1 to 3 December 2010. The training programmes focused
on the topics: creating media messages; integration of media with school subjects;
exploring new media; and introduction to media clubs. Post Graduate Teachers
of languages and social sciences were invited to attend the training programme.
Participants were introduced to make use of new media tools like wikieducator,
blogs, Yahoo and Google groups, Skype, blogs, picasa etc. Teachers created their
own blogs and joined groups which were created for them. Teachers also wrote
scripts on various topics like impact of media on children, integrating media
with languages, global warming, understanding advertising, students and social
media, role of a teacher, career counselling, etc. They also developed scripts related
to their own subject under the guidance of experts. A blog on media in schools
was created wherein teachers share their experiences.
