Moving Image Education

“Children experience moving images from earliest childhood. Cartoons, films, adverts, and all moving image media are very carefully constructed to tell stories and provoke feelings. They are a huge part of our culture.” Creative Scotland (2009, no page).

I support this quote as I feel moving image education is a  great way of motivating children and encouraging them to take their learning further than just typical classroom activities (for example; reading, writing and number work). Moving image education can transform the way children learn and think of school life.

Whilst looking online, I found a great website that is suited to the Curriculum for Excellence, therefore it is relevant to me.

It is beleived that a good understanding of media literacy promotes children developing creative minds, critical thinking and cultural knowledge
