29 The Bigger Picture
30 The Bigger Picture web 2.0 ( ) Has changed everything. Mass adoption of software and services that offer new possibilities for collaboration, including: BLOGS PODCASTS WIKIS FORUMS SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES MEDIA SHARING SITES P2P VOIP
31 The Bigger Picture ERA rise of the empowered user OF THE TOTAL RETHINK
32 The Bigger Picture Download of ABC s iphone application exceeded 1 million within 17 months In September 2010 YouTube reported in excess of 160 million mobile views per day, almost triple the number from a year before Electronic Billboards OECD Communications Outlook 2011
33 The Bigger Picture M AC RO T R E N D 1: Today, INNOVATION starts at the consumer level, and makes its way back into the enterprise Ken wirt, VP of consumer marketing, cisco.
34
35 The Bigger Picture M AC RO T R E N D 2 : The Growing Use of Video
36 More and more the traditional media are competing with alternative and new media for the individual s attention and for the advertising dollar The Bigger Picture
37 The Bigger Picture As international consumers become bombarded by media images, the regional AV sector will be pushed able to compete in terms of relevance, reach and quality
38 The Bigger Picture Wireless and compression technologies are lifestyle gamechangers Youth are extremely attracted to these new portable multimedia devices, which are being heavily marketed to youth populations.
39 The New economy/digital Society Children Born Technology veterans (grew up with Internet/multiprocessing skills) Experts in cultural immersion Active in the networked world with a global mindset Drivers of social networking Oriented to team work/comfortable working in groups Collaborative
40 THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION Media consumers ability to make their own decisions about content and how to treat it points to a different regulatory environment. Regulation is less about inoculation and more about empowerment, the watchwords being democratic participation and critical awareness.
41 THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 13 : states that every child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information of all kinds through any media of the child s choice.
42 THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 17 : requires every state to develop appropriate guidelines for the protection of children from information and material injurious to his or her well-being. Media education must be made a central part of the basic entitlement of every child to freedom of expression and the right to information.
43 DIGITAL LITERACY Children must be empowered through Media literacy : the ability to access, understand and create communications in a variety of contexts. Society of uploaders rather than downloaders
44 MEDIA LITERACY PROJECT BCJ partnership with UNESCO, Joint Board of Teacher Education, Ministry of Education

46 -How to make informed decisions & respond to risky content in the media MEDIA LITERACY-outcomes Children in media literacy classes are expected to understand: -Electronic media can be a useful tool for learning & selfdevelopment -Some types of content can be harmful for children -How to recognise inappropriate media content
