Week 4- Digital Media

 This week in my Digital Pedagogies unit, we looked at how Digital Media can be used for learning content and tools to expand the students creativity/ knowledge and maximise engagement for further interaction towards education.  The use of digital media insists of videos, images and audio which allows the students to express their creativity into their learning through many different platforms. As a teacher in areas of Health and Physical Education and Psychology I could bring up these images (examples of both subject areas) and ask my students "what do we think is happening in this picture? Who is this picture for? What is the purpose of this picture?".  Health and Physical Education picture I would show the students:  URL:  https://safetycartoon.com/category/spot-the-hazards-cartoon/ Psychological education picture I would show the students:  URL:  https://healthandsafetyhandbook.com.au/bulletin/10-proactive-health-and-safety-hazard-identification-me...
