Information about the mySF Project blog and its purposes for secondary
teachers and students studying Science Fiction
The
mySF Project blog with the attendant
mySF podcasts for teachers,
students and others interested is the centre of this system.
The mySF
Project blog is open for comments, critiques and cross-links as part of
ongoing collaboration in the teaching and enjoyment of SF with secondary
students aged around twelve to seventeen, or Year 9 to Year 12 in the
Canberra school system.
You can find the
mySF Project blog itself in the famous
WordPress blog format, with links to the
mySF podcasts housed at
LibSyn through this link, current to 26
August, 2016:

Because parts of this site have been migrated up from educational intranets,
there are some older podcasts and notes for students and teachers offered
covering standard SF texts, as well as some new and ongoing blog entries and
discussions.
The blog comments, interviews, critiques and curriculum ideas are
based in a
thematic study of SF as social criticism, with a strong bias towards but not
necessarily scalding fingers on hard SF. Since 2016, the
mySF Project has also included specilaist
content for Year 9 students using a STEAM approach, an inter-disciplinary,
ongpoing project that focuses on the generation spaceship in SF, the
GS Project.
