Beeban Kidron is the co-founder of FILMCLUB which is set up in 2006 to give young people the chance to have the ability to experience learning from a different point of view. FILMCLUB supports learning with the scheme called Into Film which encourages all kind of children, disregarding their abilities or background to film making, to have the chance to;
- SEE
- THINK
- MAKE
- IMAGINE
FILMCLUB (2014) identifies there is a range of difference benefits from being involved with a film club such as; children who are seen to be more vulnerable than other students within the class have the chance to express themselves and allow themselves to be heard. Other benefits come from the academic point of view where children are developing on learning skills which then improves their confidence to be more involved with other subject areas.
Everywhere you look these days you will see some form of technology being used for different sorts of education purposes or even just for personal use.
