What Is Media?

In general, "media" refers to various forms of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different forms of media. The term can also be used as a collective noun for the press or new reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective nouns, but refers to different types of data storage options.

I started this blog as an assignment for my Media Literacy Part 2 course as a resource for teachers. I will now also be using it in my Media Specialist to reflect on my learning throughout the course.

Learning Experience #1

After completing the first part of my media specialist course the assignment that has stuck with me the most was about leadership styles.  I really enjoyed watching the slide show that displayed quotes about leadership.  After watching the slide show, it really made me think about my leadership style and the leadership styles of others.  I thought about past teaching partners and administration.  I also thought about past teachers and coaches that I had when I went through elementary school, high school and even university.  I thought about the styles that I like and the ones that were effective for me.   I also realized that what worked for me does not always work for others.  As teachers, we all will find a leadership style that will work for us but, we must be flexible to others that you are trying to lead.
I have been thinking of ways of sharing this slide show with others and I have found a way to do it.  I am planning to have my intermediate class present something similar at our next character Ed assembly.  We are trying to help students become leader in the classroom, school and community so I think this will be a great leadership opportunity for my students.  Who knows if it will help inspire others as well?
Here is the slide show that I have been talking about.
