X. Production<br />

This approach entails learning by doing which is an important aspect of knowledge<br />

aquisition in the twenty first century. Students should be encouraged to explore learning<br />

at a deeper <strong>and</strong> more meaningfull level. The production of media <strong>and</strong> <strong>in<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> content<br />

offers the opportunity <strong>for</strong> students to immerse themselves in learning through exploring<br />

<strong>and</strong> doing. Through the production of media texts (<strong>for</strong> example audio, video <strong>and</strong> print),<br />

students are able to explore the creativity <strong>and</strong> to express themselves through their own<br />

voices, ideas <strong>and</strong> perspectives.<br />

Examples include: students use software such as iMovie or Moviemaker (or any other similar<br />

free <strong>and</strong> open source software) to make a one minute digital story about an environmental<br />

issue or any other subject of interest.<br />
