Online Workshop - Media School: Digital Storytelling

The National Film Board of Canada's Media School offers an online workshop for ages 13 to 18. This is an introductory workshop to digital storytelling, guided by filmmaker and mentor Paul Tom. Students can navigate through a variety of videos and interactive activities, related to the different stages of media production.

In the workshop, students are given the tools to create their own digital stories, a rhythmic assemblage of photos, narrative and music, using accessible equipment such as their cell phones and common software.

This online workshop:

• Is easy to use in the classroom or at home, turnkey;
• Allows you to choose from over 100 hands-on activities;
• Develops media literacy and digital citizenship;
• Promotes project-based learning;
• Integrates with several school subjects (art, social studies, French, English, etc.);
• Includes evaluation grids and teaching guides.

This online workshop provides teachers with a resource that explains all the steps involved in producing a digital story, such as: 

• photography;
• assembly;
• RESEARCH;
• narrative writing;
• digital ethics;

The OQLF's Lexical Creativity Contest continues

The fourth Lexical creativity contest of the Office québécois de la langue française is launched!

To participate, Quebec high school students will have to use their imagination to create neologisms, i.e. new words that designate realities for which there is not yet a French name.

This year, students will have to come up with words that express any of the following concepts in French: "cottagecore", "on-brand", "porch piracy" or "stream sniping". As in previous competitions, they will also be able to create a neologism that designates a concept of their choice.

Invite the kids in your life to tell their French teacher about the contest! Classes have until March 10, 2023 to submit their new words for a chance to win one of the many prizes, valued at over $2,550 $.

See also the videos featuring Pierre-Yves Lord, who, last spring, went to meet the students behind the three winning neologisms in 2022.

All the details of the contest can be found on the Lexical creativity contest.
