The Australian Children's Television Foundation has taken some of its most entertaining, engaging and creative short form content and packaged it all together for use in the classroom. The Stubbies collection supports teachers to encourage students to be creative and develop higher order thinking skills. Students are increasingly becoming the creators of short form content, with many involved in uploading videos, images, music and posts, and other types of media into spaces designed for social networking. For this reason it's important to provide students with high quality, locally made, short digital content in the classroom to offer opportunities for critiquing, deconstructing, reconstructing media and to inspire students to generate ideas, and possibilities not yet realised! Stubbies (Volume 1) features 24 short films from the following programs: My strange pet (live action, 6 x 45 sec): Nine year old Henry has a strange pet - a giant Quonkka called Basil, who is more a woolly monster than domesticated pet. In the short mockumentary's style episodes the mayhem increases as Henry learns that he has a very strange pet indeed. Horace in slow motion (animation, 6 x 45 sec): Horace is a lovable, portly pig who performs his greatest bodily acts in slow motion. Gyrate with Horace as he does the belly dance! Laugh out loud as he attempts to eat cake on a treadmill! Dry reach as he pops a zit! Dukes of Broxstonia (animation, 6 x 45 sec): The Dukes are the hottest band to come out of Broxstonia in years. Thanks to the generosity of the Broxstonian government, they're on tour, spreading their uniquely punk thrash sounds to the world. Casa de evil (live action/animation, 6 x 45 sec): recharge your batteries at Casa de evil. The secret island resort especially for super villains! Casa de evil is a series of mock advertisements for the ultimate super villain holiday destination.
