I found this video and thought it was a idea to apply to the classroom. This practical application of technology allowed students to create a documentary that showcased their own school's fine arts academy. This is a great example of a project that got students really involved and excited while developing specific job skills that will carry out into the professional world.

ReplyDeletei think that it's extremely beneficial for students to be exposed to technology and skills that they will not only be engaged in but also be able to apply later, and be able to see that application. with our society becoming more and more digitally based these skills are essentially and only now are we slowly finding educators that can teach it.
