- 2. RT @petesmediablog: #mediaedchat any ideas on things we can do via MEA site let me know 12-Dec-12 00:03 | hgaldinoshea #mediaedchat So exciting to see students lead broadcast under that live event pressure+work alongside staff+peers from other arts subjects. 12-Dec-12 00:01 | TallisVMA “@andywallis: @nizlamb should we aim for TeachMeet style events or something more unique? #mediaedchat” Would love to see this happening! 11-Dec-12 23:59 | hgaldinoshea #mediaedchat Sorry I missed chat. Xmas concert+our 1st yr13 Btec multicam live edit Internet stream. Footage+talkback recorded for debrief. 11-Dec-12 23:55 | TallisVMA #mediaedchat argh missed this. Bt there seems very little in my area. Do the media groups work? 11-Dec-12 21:49 | KTSMedia1 @andywallis Hi Andy,I'm a media HOD from the NE, wasn't aware of #mediaedchat but would love to get involved next time. Sam 11-Dec-12 21:05 | beetlebug1 @nizlamb I think you are right, approach from all available angles #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:52 | andywallis @nizlamb That's very true, and easy to forget one you're immersed in it #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:51 | digitaldaisies I think we perhaps place too much premium on e-communication. Just because we are using doesn't mean colleagues at same level #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:50 | nizlamb A quiet #mediaedchat this week (not surprising for the time of year!), but thank you as always to all who were involved. More next week! 11-Dec-12 20:50 | andywallis So, something more physical for people to have, up the online presence, let MEA know what's happening, and more biscuits! #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:46 | andywallis RT @petesmediablog: #mediaedchat any ideas on things we can do via MEA site let me know 11-Dec-12 20:45 | andywallis @digitaldaisies I think that can be achieved online (am sure I've done it in the past somehow!) #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:43 | andywallis RT @LauraCurranBun: Will ask my group how they think media has helped in other subjects. Will tweet their ideas, or they can! #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:42 | andywallis @nizlamb #mediaedchat by the time they get it...crumbs! 11-Dec-12 20:42 | petesmediablog
- 3. #mediaedchat have to go in a minute as called to gate. Freezing fog so wish me and the pilot luck! 11-Dec-12 20:38 | petesmediablog #mediaedchat good idea Neil. Use some of that biscuit money! 11-Dec-12 20:38 | petesmediablog Can the MEA do more to support local groups? Does the website need more publicity? If so, how? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:37 | andywallis @nizlamb it might make a difference to have something tactile & personal. worth a shot at least! #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:36 | andywallis @andywallis perhaps I will send out an actual physical newsletter in the New Year #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:35 | nizlamb @LauraCurranBun definitely get students involved to promote it in the right manner' love seeing that happen #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:34 | andywallis @nizlamb call me old fashioned, but a headed written letter inviting colleagues to an event would work imo (as well as e-means) #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:33 | andywallis what is the best way of keeping in contact with colleagues? email often gets ignored or forgotten, Facebook groups?#mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:31 | nizlamb So as there are several MEA local groups out there, how can 'we' get the message out to the many? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:31 | andywallis @digitaldaisies seems like you're getting back into the loop! :) #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:30 | andywallis @nizlamb absolutely, but I think we have to in the right manner (without the shouting!) #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:28 | andywallis RT @nizlamb: can be difficult to keep up momentum & energy without slipping into spam/lone nut job shouting at passers by? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:27 | andywallis @digitaldaisies have you thought about setting up a local group for Media teachers? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:25 | andywallis @LauraCurranBun absolutely, so would a TeachMeet style event help to promote that? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:22 | andywallis I think the momentum is happening for people who are willing to risk going out there & meetin up in different area #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:21 | andywallis
- 4. @nizlamb in some ways, I think that attitude needs to change & is a BIG problem for MS #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:17 | andywallis @andywallis #mediaedchat not sure that's true! Lots of people I meet are unaware of teachmeet as a concept 11-Dec-12 20:17 | petesmediablog @andywallis i think maybe media teaching is fun part of what lot of english teachers do so they are happy with it as sideline? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:16 | nizlamb @TheoKuechel @nizlamb I think as a starting point a TM style would be good, as it's now recognisable by most #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:15 | andywallis #mediaedchat joining you from departures at Belfast airport! Flight delayed 11-Dec-12 20:14 | petesmediablog @andywallis teachmeet good if geographically convenient maybe less easy somewhere like East Sussex where we are more spread #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:14 | nizlamb @nizlamb so is that a league table induced aspect in terms of priorities or something deeper? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:14 | andywallis @andywallis @nizlamb I'm not a media teacher but have an interest - I would think Teachmeet would be ideal #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:13 | TheoKuechel as much as they might like it to be #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:12 | nizlamb I think a problem we face is that a lot of media teachers are first & foremost english teachers so media is not their priority #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:11 | nizlamb @nizlamb should we aim for TeachMeet style events or something more unique? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:11 | andywallis the difficulty is sustaining interest and contact with all the other pressures and workload commitments that teachers have #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:10 | nizlamb Having set up a local MEA group (East Sussex) I hope I have contacted all or most of the media teachers in the area. #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:09 | nizlamb RT @andywallis: How many people are aware that local MEA groups are being set up around the country? #mediaedchat 11-Dec-12 20:05 | andywallis RT @andywallis: #mediaedchat coming up at 8pm for those about on this very cold evening... http://t.co/RyCnnvvl 11-Dec-12 19:49 | digitaldaisies
