Pay Off! is an educational introduction to moviemaking tools that aims to support and encourage teachers so they dare to start analysing films and let their pupils produce a movie teachers. Pay Off! consists of a 40-minute DVD and a teacher's manual giving a thorough walkthrough of the essential moviemaking tools with guidelines to understand how to get you message through when making a movie. The teacher's guide includes many tasks for students to engage in when they have to learn film-making and analysis. After viewing a chapter, pupils and teachers can discuss and reflect, and before the time of testing, the teacher can use the DVD to prepare for it. The teacher's guide includes many tasks for students to engage in when they have to learn film-making and analysis. It gives students an insight into the shooting and editing of a film, and how students can use editing tools to create their own production. In 2006 Pay Off! participated in the Danish competition "Det gyldne Snit 2006" and won the Jury´s special prize: http://www.fsknet.dk/da/node/474?q=node/504.

How to exploit the potential of videos in teacher's training

TILT (Teaching Intermedia Literacy Tools) works within schools and community-based programs to teach young people the fundamentals of moviemaking and media literacy through hands-on training in video production. Programs equip young people with the tools to critically understand media messages and to create their own alternative media. Through a combination of technical training and hands-on experience we give students the means to gain a meaningful voice in media and to tell their own stories.

Inaugurated in June 1999, the Schools Video Awards (SVA) started with the aim of providing a platform for our students to express themselves creatively through the use of video. A category for teachers was introduced from the 7th SVA. This recognises teachers? efforts in producing useful teaching resources, as well as encourages the use of video to support teaching and learning. The 9th SVA (2008) was re-branded as the Schools Digital Media Awards (SDMA) to include additional media categories such as audio and animation. This widening of scope builds the capacity in our students for producing a variety of media. This is in line with the government?s strategic framework to build a world-class Interactive Digital Media (IDM) talent base in Singapore. The SDMA aims to provide opportunities for teamwork, collaboration and the development of media literacy. It also hopes to enhance participants? understanding of the use of various media to create an original story for the intended audience. Students' competition and teachers' participation. Workshops as well (fee is sponsored for some workshops): http://evideo.edu.sg/sdma/index.php/workshops/list_workshops/all

Videoplein is a site about online video in education, targeted at teachers who want to learn more about this subject. The web site gathers information on the use of video, publications and links to relevant online sources. It's also possible to enroll in workshops to learn to use video in your own lessons.

The French virtual workshop has been designed to reflect the structure, the content and the spirit of the face to face workshops, covering both the pedagogical applications of digital media and the production techniques required to design, film, edit and deliver digital media online. The rich media approach - combining video material, photographs, synchronised slides and downloadable supporting documents - gives participants a feel of what it is like to design and produce digital media for teaching and learning and provides them with the opportunity to complete their own practical work. The virtual workshop can be consulted and followed as autonomous study material, or can be integrated into a tutored online course.
