MY HERO Learning Circles: 5-Week Session

For those teachers and students who have always wanted to become judges in an International Film Festival... this circle is for you! The new 5-week MY HERO Learning Circle invites teachers and students alike to watch a selection of short films from the MY HERO International Film Festival, featuring heroes from around the world. Students will learn what makes an impactful film that inspires one to take action.

Introduction to the collaboration centre and the MY HERO website. Teachers and students register for MY HERO accounts.

Participants introduce themselves on the project forum in Schoology.

Week 2: Demonstration

Students watch a video on how to vote in the public ballot. They examine previous winning films and discuss their strengths.

Students access the public ballot and vote on their favourite films. They can choose the categories that interest them the most.

Week 5: Closing the Circle

Teachers and students send their final goodbyes through the iEARN forums and the MY HERO Learning Circle closes. (The forum will be active for a week after the end of the Learning Circle to make sure all final messages are received.)
