CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS

Creativity can be the difference between success and failure. When you are not using your creative thinking skills to full advantage, you can miss opportunities and the success of your endeavours will suffer. When all solutions escape you, creative thinking can provide another perspective. In this program we journey through how as individuals we can become more creative and develop a questioning mindset, enhancing our ability to generate, challenge, test and reinvent ideas. Critical thinking and creative thinking are very different from each other, therefore knowing how best to utilise your creative thinking skills can separate you from the rest - now let's get creative!

    MEDIA LITERACY: CREATING MEDIA

With a computer, how hard can that be? Part of the intrigue of media creation is it looks so easy. This program takes students on location to a behind-the-scenes look at a radio station, television news show, a regional newspaper and a national on-line newspaper to see how media is created in a top media market

Visuals, whether they are video, photos, or how we put together photos and words, often have more impact and more credibility than words alone.

    MEDIA LITERACY: THE AUDIENCE

    Most people think of "audience" as those who watch television, listen to the radio, read a magazine or newspaper or surf the web but "media are businesses." In the same way a hardware store sells nuts and bolts, the media sell product - YOU " the audience. Guaranteeing an audience to advertisers is what the media do and it has to be the "right" audience - those with money to spend on the advertised product or products. This program examines the concepts of demographics, psychographics, how ratings affect media, targeting and on-line advertising
