Week Two

Week Two
What is 'old' media?

The second step in our unit is to think about how we learn new things about our world (get information/build knowledge). How do we learn new things? Where does our information come from?

As we learnt last week, one way that we get information is through the 'media'. With the introduction of the internet, media is changing fast!

Think about how your Grandparents learnt new information....... rang a friend? Read a book? Read the newspaper? How long would they have to wait for new information to arrive? Who gave them the new information?

Now think about how you get your information now. Some of it will be the same, but some will be different (your Grandparents couldn't pick up an iPhone to check the latest news, for instance).

This week we will be looking at defining OLD MEDIA, and thinking about some of the differences between old and new media.
