Exemplary student videos

I organized a two-day “Filmmaking for Educators” workshop for about 15 teachers last week. The participants learned about the basics of filmmaking, wrote their script, shot the video, edited the footage, and presented their work at a film festival at the end of the second day. Everyone had a great time, and I know that these teachers will be better able to teach their students about communicating with digital media.

If you want to see what’s possible with student-created video, you must head over to the iCan 6 film festival site and view some of the student films. These amazing films were created by students at San Fernando High School as part of an amazing digital storytelling program run by Marco Torres. You will be amazed.
