TV3 and TEAM Solutions resource on climate change

 This is a resource TEAM Solutions has developed with TV3 which consists of a DVD of news clips

and raw footage and teachers resource booklet. It has exhaustive links to the NZ curriculum and includes

an integrated unit plan for year 12. TEAM Solutions (Bridget and Carol from there)

 announced this resource at the teaching for Sustainability conference in wellington and they

will be launching it at a sec school in Auck on the 5th May 2008. The first clip on the DVD explains

what it is about and good to show schools. It is a free resource and the flier went to every

sec school.

The resource was made with Education for Sustainability and Media

studies as AN INTEGRATED RESOURCE AND HOPEFULLY A WAY TO GET TEACHERS

TALKING TO EACH OTHER ACROSS THE CURRCULUM AND OFFER an opportunity to

get different teachers involved in indirect action. This is hopefully a pilot and there will be more

CD's on different themes, See teacher notes, this one is on climate change.There is an

accompanying competition where students can submit there  own news clip around climate

change and their action and the best willbe broadcast on TV3.

The flier is on TV3's website - see www.tv3.co.nz/sustainability . We have trialled it with

one school to look at technical issues and also the need for integrated learning around both

sustainability and the issue.

 We hope this is useful and if teachers contact TV3 there could possibly be another run of

the resource ( all on recycled paper).

 Let Bridget Glasgow know (b.glasgow@auckland.ac.nz ) if you have any other questions.

Key words: climate change, media studies, television, curriculum. (Submitted by Roger Waddell on behalf of TEAM Solutions).
