What

We are after short video stories told by teachers, simply recorded on your phone. These may be used in an SBS marketing campaign for TV, online, radio and social media. 

Objective

To spread the word about our wonderful resources on SBS Learn.

How

  • We want to share moments where SBS Learn has had a real impact on a student or a teacher.
  • We are looking for stories of human connection, surprise or revelation.
  • It’s all about how SBS Learn helps spark those ‘a-ha’ penny-drop moments.

Questions – please answer as many or as few as you like!

  • What does SBS mean to you?
  • Why do you want to use SBS programs in your classroom?
  • Thought-provoking topics (for example racism, truth-telling, diversity, immigration) are important to my students because…
  • In three words, how would you describe SBS Learn?
  • What does SBS Learn provide for you that is different to other online teacher resource sites?
  • Your favourite SBS Learn resource is… because…
  • Is there a moment (using SBS Learn) a Student or Teacher had:
    • An ‘a-ha’ moment, or a moment of revelation that really touched your heart
    • A moment where they saw themselves reflected back in the text – maybe for the first time – felt represented/included
    • A student was strongly impacted, changed their mind/world view
  • Why should teachers use SBS Learn’s NAIDOC Week resources?

We are also hoping to get teachers to record the below script – to let other teachers know how to access the SBS Learn resources. We may or may not end up using your recording.

Tips for shooting yourself on a phone:Teacher in phone

  • Name Check. At the top of your video please let us know your full name, where you are, the name of your school and what you teach.
  • Shoot in landscape mode. Please make sure the camera is turned on its side when shooting.
  • Audio. Stay a way from noisy backgrounds. Speak in a clear, strong voice – but don’t shout.
  • Background. Interesting backgrounds make interesting shots. Try to choose a space that gives context – like a home study, library or classroom. But don’t worry a simple background is fine too.
  • Framing. Refer to framing example below. Please include yourself only in the shot unless all people within the frame have signed and returned their media release.
