Help the Video Production Class Learn and Create

Help me give my students an iPad to use in the production of our weekly school video program, to help develop and storyboard ideas in pre-production and as a teleprompter during actual production.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our school strives to expose our students to career technical education at the middle school level. The school is located in a culturally diverse area with roughly 70% of the students receiving free or reduced lunch. For many of the students, this is their first opportunity to explore career fields that they may be interested in pursuing in high school and beyond. My students are taught video production skills to prepare them for careers in communications and entertainment. Their work is shown to the entire school and helps both inform students of campus activities and help create a strong school culture.

My Project

The video production class creates a program that is shown campus-wide. The video production crew collaborates with other groups on campus to produce this content and are very proud of their work. Some examples of what is produced are announcements and updates with the leadership class, cooking lessons with the culinary arts class, and highlights from the sports teams.

The content the class produces not only helps students by providing information about campus activities, but also helps create a culture on campus.

Students often discuss what they see on the show and provide input on what they would like to see featured in the future. The class not only gets to learn how to produce content, but also how to evaluate and respond to feedback.

This year, we are going from a biweekly schedule to a weekly one. As a result, we need to have a faster turnaround on our projects. One of the most common reasons for delays is falling behind schedule due to production issues. The iPad would help minimize such issues by providing a platform for students to work on during preproduction. Also, it can be used as a teleprompter during production. The iTunes card would help pay for the apps needed for those activities. The sleeve protects the iPad. The additional tripods and microphones will make the students' job much easier.
