Clement Townsend

My guest on this episode is Clement Townsend who helps schools and teachers integrate media arts into their programs and lessons. In this time of media saturation, using media arts as a means for learning is even more important. Clement and I discuss how we can integrate media arts into all subjects. We also talk about how to help students tell stories, including their own, to inform, inspire and impact the world around them. At the end of the interview, I subjected Clement to one of the hardest The 5-Minute Game Shows ever. And he did well! I want to thank my special guest Clement and the people that helped on my fauxmercial – Yossie Frankel and William Mealey from The Unprofessional Development podcast and his awesome wife Lindy. By the way, look for an upcoming episode of Overthrowing Education with Mealey and his podcast partner, Christopher Tudisco.

What is literacy in 2021? Clement Townsend answers this opening question asked by George Couros and shares more about what he is doing with media - specifically video - and how that embodies some of the ideas shared in The Innovator’s Mindset and Innovate Inside the Box. Townsend shares some amazing ways to integrate skills and concepts into the classroom and, more specifically, into media, video creation, and editing. “We can change the way that we teach students basic skills (in a way) that is more relevant and relatable but also has benefits that they can utilize in their everyday life.” Townsend shares some amazing ways to make sure that integrating video is not just an add-on but truly integrated into the classroom curriculum in ways that are meaningful to the learners.
