Our contributors are passionate about media production and have years of both industry and classroom experience - resulting in this unique series of highly effective and hands on projects.

At Media Teacher Toolkit our goal is to save you time and provide both you and your students with an enjoyable and effective learning experience. The tasks selected for this series have been used and refined over a number of years and serve as a 'best of' in terms of producing effective outcomes in the classroom.

Our resources are both highly practical and highly adaptable. As curriculum requirements vary from state to state and country to country we have designed our tasks with this in mind. As an added bonus all of our content is adaptable and can be customised for your own unique needs.

Each volume we provide includes four detailed tasks that include the following:


(1) Clear and concise written task descriptions and contextual background information (in various adaptable formats to suit your needs)
(2) Step by step video tutorials explaining detailed task requirements
(3) Finished real world exemplars (including adaptable project files so you can model the process to your students in class)
(4) Each volume includes copyright free media assets that teachers and students can remix and re-edit legally
(5) We also include an adaptable assessment rubric. The rubric highlights core skills and competencies students should be able to demonstrate once they have completed each task.
