MEGATRENDS AND MEDIA
In 2014 a book publication of fairy tales with media-educational theme
entitled How the Red Riding Hood read the newspaper (Ako červená
čiapočka noviny čítala) has been published by the Faculty of Mass Media
Communication. The intention of the tales is to show children the correct
attitude when facing potential threads and dangers through the inclusion
of media-educational problems in the tales. The main scientiic goal is to
develop critical thinking and the acquisition of media competencies by
receiving, analysing, evaluating and communicating the lessons resulting
from the „media tales“.
This book serves as the basis for the proposed mobile app. Based on the
literary work we plan to create a ilm script and transform individual
tales into short audiovisual works. The actual implementation will take
place at the Faculty of Mass Media Communication with its employees
and technical support. The tales will be implemented into the mobile app
including following categories:
– Video – user will be able to select a speciic tale from the list
– Quiz – the user will be able to answer the questions related to the
selected tale after watching the video or in a separate section. Within
educational process, students of one class will be able to compare the
results achieved in the quiz with their classmates.
– Dictionary – contains the terms occurring in fairy tales, mostly
technical terms, which the user may not understand but may use them
in the future.
– Games – the application will contain part with interactive games with
the theme of fairy tales, fun and relaxation.
