 Trying to capture a bit of that vårkänsla with uppgift #14 for Mia & Co. up at KAU.

Last day @ JB

A sad day....but I'll be back.
Today i am trying to wrap up my VFU assignments while participating in Storskogsdagen. The media team is going to pick a spoof ad to post on the Wall of Fame AND we are going to eat kladkaka.
Sweet.
This afternoon the festivities begin with a Film Quiz and then we meet in the common room for the years awards and recognitions. right now the school (and Bob) is really busy.

The Good Consumer

An inspirational film from these guys that we watched to gear up for ad spoofing.

I strongly  recommend checking out their site and other consumer awareness videos.

Today was a good day.
The last group of students worked on interpreting and manipulating the connotations in advertising. Now we have a selection of ad spoofs created by my media students- front line soldiers in the media wars. This Friday we will select the spoof that best managed to capture the connotations underlying the original ad and manipulate it to mean something else.
 I will post the winner here as well as on JB's WALL OF FAME
                         ...sweet, sweet recognition.

ad-spoofing @ JB kd.

I started off my last week of praktik with a lesson in denotation versus connotation inspired by adbusters. My first year students took apart ad campaigns and refitted them with their own messages. 

a good Monday.

thanks Huldran

The Bully Project

I just came across The Bully Project that is based on an upcoming film about bullying. The goal is to meet bullying head on as something that is not ok, not a right of passage or just a part of growing up.

 Bullying is wrong, plain and simple.

The project web page offers a chance to organize a screening and other tools to help your kids, students and communities make a change in our schools and lives, both on and off-line.

I have decided to organize a screening for the teacher students at our school and maybe for my community Forshaga and am waiting with anticipation for the film to be completed.

Class dismissed.

from the iTEC home page...a page worth checking out.
