The New Media Classroom Resources

Many find the new media a challenging and daunting prospect, especially in a classroom envi-ronment where one feels the student may have more actual experience of the subject than the teacher. The New Media: Classroom Resources offers a range of classroom-friendly pupil resource sheets containing exercises, essay questions and tasks that contextualise the subject for students while offering a sturdy framework for the teacher. Starting by asking What are the New Media?, Sean Redmond then goes on to consider the effects of the new media on old media as well as reflecting on the impact of the genuinely new media. In doing so he offers practical teaching solutions to such areas as: film in the digital age; television and new media; popular music and new media; the Internet revolution; surveillance culture; computer games and game playing. The New Media: Classroom Resources also includes an extensive glossary of new media terms which will further aid the teacher and student in negotiating this still largely unexplored area of study.
