Duncan Smith’s Summary

Multimedia designer with many years producing photography, film, video and audio. Now wanting to fully embrace the potential of Internet based new media. I work with web sites, 3D animations, live action, multimedia presentations and podcasting.

Though no longer a practising teacher I am interested in ways to integrate new media into the curriculum to enhance learning and understanding for children and young people. User generated media is in it's infancy and the children of today are going to be the content producers of tomorrow, yet critical viewing and intelligent use of media has yet to be regarded as important in most schools.

Duncan Smith’s Specialties:

Specialities include:
Video production, audio production (including live music), photography.
I am a qualified teacher specialising in the use of new media in the classroom.
