MEDEA 2010 finalists
Once again, I have been invited by Ms. Nikki Cortoos to being a judge at MEDEA Awards 2010, as I have been in 2009. I am honoured.
As Teacher Assessor specialized by the University of Evora and Catholic University of Portugal - UCP/Biotechnology, I commited myself thorough a careful work of analysis in all the areas of the projects evaluation.
Long hours, testing, verifying the several entries and checking all the items of the evaluation process.
This year the competition attracted 140 entries from 31 countries, a very high number of entries. For the first time, those entering could chose between submitting their entry as a production made by a professional company or semi-professional production unit or as one made by teachers, students, learners, parents, professors, individual or organisational representatives in primary education, secondary education, higher education, adult education, vocational education and/or training.
The 9 finalists of "MEDEA Awards 2010" had been announced by MEDEA Secretariat, on 4th October 2010. You can see the list in show case here
Entries this year included terrific examples of how students and their teachers are using media to enhance their own media literacy skills while creating learning resources that can have significant social impact. Animations and cartoons made by younger children demonstrated that children are never too young to begin creating their own media-based learning materials.
The finalists were chosen by a jury made up of 74 education and media experts from 26 countries who evaluated the MEDEA entries during August and September.
The overall winner will be announced during the "MEDEA Awards Ceremony" which takes place on Thursday 25 November during the Media & Learning Conference in Brussels.
This year, I could accept the invitation to participate in the cerimony! It will be a joy to share these moments and at the same time to attend the Media & Learning Conference.
