As the disruptive forces of the Internet bear down on colleges and universities, everyone is beginning to feel the leading winds of this impending storm, but few have a clear view of the changes to come. Newspapers, travel agencies, yellow pages, and record labels are all industries that have been greatly affected by the Internet, and each foretell a different version of what may lie ahead.
College 2.0 will witness a massive peeling apart process. Learning will become separated from the classroom. Courses will be created organically and formed around an on-demand, any-time, any-place delivery models. Professors will declare their independence and work for multiple institutions rather than just one specific college. Accreditation will shift from the Institution to the course and to the individual. And textbooks, the ink-on-paper version that we know today, will all but disappear.
This is the title of an interesting article written by Anne Hart (Sacramento Holistic Family Health Examiner). My answer is a big YES. I've studied this method almost an year and the results are absolutely amazing. Screenwriting and film production have to be part of school curricula all over the world ( Also in my previous post Wim Wenders: Film is a language that can be taught) The future is about how we will be able to communicate using the film language: moving pictures, sounds and words, all together and sometimes in real time.
"It's time to teach the children to write, produce, and promote their own films. This will give them job skills they'll use later in life at all levels of leadership." Anne Hart

THIS AN FANATSTIC PROJECT ! Congartulations , TATE !
Copy Paste from TATE's website:
The Tate Movie Project is the first of its kind – an animated movie made by and for children across the UK. Showcasing the vivid imaginations of kids, the Tate Movie Project uses great artworks to inspire 5-13 year olds nationwide to contribute their ideas to the movie. Children are creating every aspect of the film, from the hand-drawn characters and plot twists, down to costumes and comic sound effects.
On 15 July 2010 the project went live. At its heart is the Tate Movie Project website. Children are able to be involved in the whole movie making process online. When children enter the website they are welcomed by Ronnie, the animated 'Movie Director', alongside a host of other characters who will guide them through the process as they explore animation, scripting, editing and sound effects. The vast bank of material created by children over coming months will be brought together by Tate, Aardman Animations and creative agency Fallon, using the latest animation technology.
The Tate Movie Project truck took to the road in July on a national three month tour of production workshops. The truck is travelling to 55 locations across the UK, visiting primary schools, family events and festivals. The truck folds out into a state of the art creative learning studio, complete with sound studio space, computers and a screening facility, all of which can be cleared away for workshops and activities. The children will work with artists and film-makers in the truck who will deliver hundreds of production workshops.
The next stage of group activities will be workshops that take place from October 2010 – March 2011 at a network of partner galleries across the UK. Visit Roadshows on the Tate Movie Project website for full details of the truck's tour.
The finished film will be broadcast on BBC TV in mid-2011. Meanwhile, CBBC's Blue Peter will be following the real-life production process and encouraging kids to get involved.
The project has been made possible through £3million of funding from Legacy Trust UK, and will become part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. BP, as one of the Premier Partners of the Cultural Olympiad, is providing further sponsorship and practical support to the education programme underpinning the project. As well as broadcast support, BBC Learning are producing fun, accessible resources for kids and teachers alike.
How to get involved Children: Visit the Tate Movie Project website to sign up and join the movie team. You can also find out if the Tate Movie Project truck will be in your area over the summer 2010.
