Integrating Media

Here you will find ideas to help you integrate media into your everyday lessons in different subject areas.

Media can be incorporated into any unit you are teaching.  Here are some tips to help you find ways to use media every day in your classroom:

  • Look for 'exploitable moments' - what are your students interested in?  what is happening in the media right now?
  • Look for media texts (newspaper articles, Youtube videos, newsreports, websites etc...) that cover content from a Science or Social Studies unit.
  • Have your students create media texts as final products for other content units - a Prezi or poster for a science presentation, a blog post for a book report, a podcast for a piece of writing, an infographic for a social studies topic...
  • Let students bring in their own media to discuss.
