| "For a student teacher, the fantastic support and positivity of the Media Arts staff was a breath of fresh
air. I went to Joe with a vague, ad hoc idea, not knowing if it was practicable or not; the personal time he spent with me fleshing the idea out was brilliant. He then spent even more time helping me get the output onto the school website. The whole mini-Scheme of Work was certainly enhanced by the use of Media Arts - and the pupils loved having their work online, instead of on the walls...
The Media Arts equipment was ridiculously extensive, not to mention easy to book, with in-lesson technical support to boot - a bonus for any technophile teacher. The opportunities the specialism offers teachers to incorporate Media Arts into their teaching and learning are incredible. You could plan a whole scheme of work or just pick up a digital stills camera to document a lesson - it would be criminal to neglect or discontinue these resources."
