"This timely and innovative book encourages us to 'flip the
classroom' and empower our students to become content creators.
Through creating digital media, they will not only improve their
communication skills, but also gain a deeper understanding of core
scientific concepts. This book will inspire science academics and
science teacher educators to design learning experiences that allow
students to take control of their own learning, to generate media
that will stimulate them to engage with, learn about, and become
effective communicators of science." Professors Susan Jones and
Brian F. Yates, Australian Learning and Teaching Council Discipline
Scholars for Science "Represents a giant leap forward in our
understanding of how digital media can enrich not only the learning
of science but also the professional learning of science teachers."
Professor Tom Russell, Queen's University, Ontario, Canada "This
excellent edited collection brings together authors at the
forefront of promoting media creation in science by children and
young people. New media of all kinds are the most culturally
significant forms in the lives of learners and the work in this
book shows how they can move between home and school and provide
new contexts for learning as well as an understanding of key
concepts." Dr John Potter, London Knowledge Lab, Dept. of Culture,
Communication and Media, University College London, UK
Student-generated Digital Media in Science Education supports
secondary school teachers, lecturers in universities and teacher
educators in improving engagement and understanding in science by
helping students unleash their enthusiasm for creating media within
the science classroom. Written by pioneers who have been developing
their ideas in students' media making over the last 10 years, it
provides a theoretical background, case studies, and a wide range
of assignments and assessment tasks designed to address the vital
issue of disengagement amongst science learners. It showcases
opportunities for learners to use the tools that they already own
to design, make and explain science content with five digital media
forms that build upon each other- podcasts, digital stories,
slowmation, video and blended media. Each chapter provides advice
for implementation and evidence of engagement as learners use
digital tools to learn science content, develop communication
skills, and create science explanations. A student team's music
video animation of the Krebs cycle, a podcast on chemical reactions
presented as commentary on a boxing match, a wiki page on an entry
in the periodic table of elements, and an animation on vitamin D
deficiency among hijab-wearing Muslim women are just some of the
imaginative assignments demonstrated. Student-generated Digital
Media in Science Education illuminates innovative ways to engage
science learners with science content using contemporary digital
technologies. It is a must-read text for all educators keen to
effectively convey the excitement and wonder of science in the 21st
century.
