Our school has a video production class. The instructor has some
information online and uses most of the instructional text for his classes
from online sources. Here's the link to his website:
http://faculty.trinityvalleyschool.org/keerinsd/index.html
One thing that we did do together was teach about copyright laws and how
they affect the use of images, sounds, and other media. The students had to
do some research on the subject and then create a media project that
followed the copyright laws. The found that it wasn't an easy task compared
to what they once were used to doing in other classes.
Your books sound great--- my instructor told me that it was often hard to
locate books for his classes because the information was changing so fast
that he felt he could get most of the up-to-date information online rather
than by purchasing the book (sound familiar?)
Good luck!

Subject: Need broadcast/media production & media lit curric & texts
> Dear LM_NETer's;
>
> I am in desperate need of your expert advice. I just received my MLIS in
> May and was hired at a middle school this past Tuesday, June 24th. Part
of
> my duties will be to teach a daily 45 min class on media production /
> broadcasting and media literacy (and produce a 15 min daily school news
> show). (It is a semester long class and will have approx 10 students,
> mostly advanced English class 8th graders. )
>
> The only curriculum I have is some state ELA and IL guidelines. There is
no
> textbook or any other materials, and I have zero experience (in my
previous

>
> My questions:
> 1. Does anyone have a curriculum for a broadcasting and media lit class?
> 2. Can you recommend any books for the students or myself for teaching
the
> class, or any reference texts for me? (I have listed some books below
that
> I am considering, but if you have any experience with them I would

> - "Video Production for School Library Media Specialists: Communication
and

>
> - Frank Baker's links on TV & Video Production at
