Årskurs 4-6 - Media Smart Media Smart för mellanstadiet består av sju lektioner som syftar till att ge eleverna både en introduktion till reklam, men även fördjupa sig inom områden som etisk reklam, sociala medier och lagar och regler. I ett antal enkla och roliga övningar får eleverna lära sig om reklam och källkritik och för att reflektera över hur de själva påverkas av olika budskap. Du som lärare kan använda hela eller delar av materialet. Varje lektion är fristående och du kan arbeta med dem i den ordning som passar er bäst. För att komma åt lektionerna behöver du bara skapa ett konto. Till de flesta lektioner finns ett eller flera reklamexempel. Till vissa lektioner finns även övningsuppgifter för eleverna att göra enskilt eller i grupp. När ni avslutat alla lektioner kan ni vara med i Media Smarts egen reklamtävling, Media Genier. Lycka till! Skolan har i uppdrag att överföra grundläggande värden och främja elevernas lärande för att därigenom förbereda dem för att leva och verka i samhället.

visualising 19th c trade Trading Consequences - Interlinked Visualizations The purpose of this visualization prototype is to provide a general overview of how commodities were discussed between 1750 and 1950 along geographic and temporal dimensions, as well as to show details on particular commodities or locations of interest. It was developed to help explore a large collection of historic data (163999 documents) on a meta-level and to facilitate finding documents that may be relevant for more detailed inspection. The different visual components are interlinked: for instance, selecting a commodity from the list will update the map and timeline accordingly. Zooming into the map allows the exploration of locations and related commodities in more detail. Specifing a particular time range of interest, adjusts the map and commodity list accordingly. You can find more information about how to interact with the visualiztion here.
