Drawing on a range of Australian children’s television programs, this resource builds students’ understanding of the reasons we create and view screen stories– to entertain, to teach, and to communicate ideas, feelings, and culture. Students explore the different ways in which screen stories can be told and reflect on their responses as audience members.

Why and how do we share screen stories about our world? What story would you like to share – and how will you tell it?

In this virtual workshop, ACTF and ACMI Education guide students in responding to screen stories about our world. Suitable for Foundation to Year 2 this engaging workshop explores storytelling, audience, and purpose where students will learn why and how we use screen content to share stories about our world.

This resource explores concepts and skills that support students in understanding speculative fiction when applied to digital technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), social media, privacy and data. 

This resource provides a series of curated, age-appropriate screen stories, with a discussion point and creative response for students in Foundation to Year 10. Invite culture leaders and knowledge holders featured in these screen texts into the classroom for NAIDOC and beyond – to celebrate the resilience, generosity, creativity, and enduring strength of the oldest living culture in the world.
