2. What the film says:
The film explains that Generation Y are digital learners.
Majority of teachers do not use adequate digital teaching/learning
opportunities for students. 63% do not let students use technology
to create something new. While only 14% do, but only once a
week.
Digital learning engages students as they are 21st century learners
who use technology for a large percentage of things they do.
As students are growing up into a digital world, students need
adequate technical knowledge
to obtain jobs in our digital world.
3. How It Says It:
Presented in a film to the audience with various digital
technologies acknowledged throughout.
Explains how involved all students, of all ages are with technology
by the use of flash cards explaining how much they use
technology.
Demonstrates that students are concerned with their future through
the use of statistics, estimations and unanswered
questions affecting their futures.
Eg careers.
4. Good Features
The use of flash cards throughout
the scenes to gain the audiences
attention.
Students of all ages, ethnicities and
genders were included in the film.
Personal information of students to inform the audience the
importance of digital technologies to students.
These features of the film are important features that students can
take into consideration when creating their own films.
5. Useful Information
The film acknowledges that students prefer digital learning and
that teachers need to recognise this so students have the
opportunity to create using many useful methods including film
making.
However, the film informs the
audience that students only read
for 2 Hrs per week. This recognises
that there needs to be a balance
created within the classroom and teaching strategy with
consideration of incorporation of technology.
6. Relates to Syllabus
Vision of K-12 Students. This film relates to PDHPE content, but in
a negative way. PDHPE syllabus refers to life long physical
activity and ways to prevent childhood obesity. However, key
findings used in PDHPE content is that students are to reduce

syllabus as it links into skill
outcomes of communication.

10. Quality Teaching Model
Quality teaching model is a crucial part of teaching. This model
involves: Quality learning environment, intellectual quality and
significance.
Incorporating film making into teaching strategies improves
intellectual
quality of learning by providing
authentic learning for students.
11. Related to Subject Area
Technology, especially filmmaking, relates to my subject area,
PDHPE, by being integrated into the skills outcomes. It is linked
to:
* Communication effective communication
through electronicmedia (film). Communicating
Students ideas through the use of creating a film.
* Interacting by working in groups, gaining the
ability to perform various roles and common goal of
the group. (Process of making the film) Many important roles when
making a film and important goals to be accomplished.
* Planning is associated with setting goals, priorities, manage
resources and time, and monitor performance.(factors contributing
to making a film)
* Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).Use simulation
software to make choices and decisions as a member of a team. This
section described in ICT is where film making can be referred to.
There are many roles when creating a film and a team environment is
useful to be used by students.
12. Usefulness
The film Forbidden, would be a useful film to present to students
as it had many useful film techniques and shots recorded
within.
Vision of K-12 Students Today, is a film which can demonstrate to
students that film is an effective way to portray a message.
Students should have the opportunity to create films for
assessments as components of film making are demonstrated in skill
outcomes.
