MEDEA 2012: Submitt your entries







MEDEA Awards 2012


MEDEA Awards 2012 announced its call of entries some months ago. Countdown to MEDEA Awards deadline September 17.

As you know since 2009 I am writing about MEDEA Awards. It's a pleasure to divulge such an interesting project that encourages innovation and good practices in the use of media in Education.

As an educator, I know how important it is to be encouraged as I was in 2004 from Global Junior Challenge.

"Entries are arriving at the MEDEA Awards Secretariat from practitioners and educational media producers from Europe and further afield and we are looking forward to a receiving a lot more before the 17 September deadline."

"In recent years there has been remarkable interest in the creation and use of digital video and audio in Education, boosted by the increasing impact of multimedia and video based websites and applications on the internet and mobile devices."

Of course this interest began in 1999-2000, when the first 'screen-generation' arrived at school. Innovative educators understood the meaning of changing academic practices. And mobile devices really pushed up for pedagogical applications.

Now video, audio are routine components of an open education (in and out school)  based on educational environments that recognize andreflect the media-rich world in which our learners now live. El Rap de la educación 2.0 is conclusive, don't you think?

The MEDEA Awards are inviting all participants, learners and educators to submit entries now

The suitability of the resources for use in special needs education is considered really important.
