Steph! Thanks so much for your ideas about dance... although I am still not 100 per cent sold on it, I can definitely see how it can be successfully incorporated into the classroom and curriculum. Thanks so much for that as well as the resources!
On another note, your bye bye balloon movie was so cute! It is amazing that something like that can be done just in Powerpoint! It shows that even though it is the least embodied art form (Dezuanni & Raphael, 2012), media arts still allows for a great amount of creativity.

I think it is extremely important to teach media arts in such an increasingly technology-based world. The lectures this week provided me with so many new ideas. I especially loved the thought of filming a book to be used as a way of drawing student’s attention to the pictures of the book and their meanings. I attempted to do this at home but my camera decided not to work. I have, however, thought of a few different ways to incorporate media into the classroom. I love the thought of running a class newsletter to be sent home to the parents with health ideas and classroom news. This could be created and sent as an e-mail or created as a class web page. Just like drama, stop-frame animations could also be used as a way for students to show their learning from an inquiry based lesson where they have researched and deeply thought about a topic.
There are so many other things that students can do with multimedia – resources permitting, as you said Steph. The teaching tool kit contains some really amazing ideas and how to guides!
