The Australian-published quarterly media studies journal Screen Education is aimed at media teachers, and at secondary school teachers interested in harnessing the power of visual media to stimulate learning. It is essential reading for those with an interest in media literacy, offering a unique and engaging perspective on screen education, and is an invaluable resource for upper secondary students and university students studying film. Each issue provides the reader with practical classroom ideas, lesson plans and activities along with essays, study guides, updates on new technology, and research into media pedagogy.
Screen Education No. 88 covers a range of films and television series including Wall-E, The Martian, The Lion King, An Inconvenient Sequel, The Hours, Groundhog Day, Memento, Twin Peaks and 13 Reasons Why, and offers tips on how to use Finding Dory in science classrooms. The issue also takes an in-depth look at the films of Austrian auteur Michael Haneke, explores recent examples of Australian virtual reality filmmaking and considers the benefits of using sitcoms to teach narrative, as well as covering all the best new digital tools for teachers.
