Screen360.tv Benefits

​Cognitive Impact
Each one of our perceptual, cognitive, and emotional capabilities is built upon the scaffolding provided by early life experiences.

Fox, Levitt, Nelson, Child Development 2010
​

​Memorable Learning
Vivid memories of personal experiences provide models for present activities and contribute to successful problem solving and adaptation. The memories serve important directive functions: they inform, guide, motivate, and inspire.

David Pillemer (2003) Directive functions of autobiographical memory: The guiding power of the specific episode, Memory, 11:2, 193-202 

“The idea of cornerstone memories of films, which influence the life course, is very intriguing and promising.”
David Pillemer, PhD., Author Momentous Events, Vivid Memories (Harvard Press, 2002) ​
Screen360.tv's Learning Goals

Films are curated using our curricular lenses. Learning goals targeting  Empathy, Language, Geography, Aesthetics and Discernment are addressed in discussion and post-film analysis. The post-film inquiry and the "Re-Collector" further extend the vivid learning experience and provide data points for assessment along with further research.
Where do our films come from?

Catherine (Katy) Kavanaugh is lead curator.  She annually attends the most respected and replicated children and youth section at the Berlin International Film Festival.  She served on its International Jury in 2001, has served on award juries for several notable festivals in Europe, and has cultivated a strong global collegial network. She was the impetus or contributor to four film programs for young audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area and went on to transform the model to Screen360.tv at Stanford Graduate School of Education and the Hasso Plattner Institute for Design, the d.School. 

The films Kavanaugh selects follow the lead of the Berlin program in providing insights to lives of peers in the world with films that have the capacity to leave a cornerstone memory and continue to contribute to the lives built upon them.  Kavanaugh's research looking at the cognitive impact of foreign film on childhood autobiographical memory reveals the benefit of early exposure to global stories and images.
