Video production in the classroom is a…"powerful, embracing tool for teaching and learning."
(citejournal.org)YOUTUBE VIDEO BOOTCAMP
July 19 – 22, 2021
During our four-day boot camp, your child will be taught media literacy skills by an experienced educator, Kara Clayton, who has taught media literacy and video production courses for 25+ years at the high school level.
Our campers will learn important concepts like:
- How to create a YouTube channel while also staying safe online
- How YouTube’s algorithm works to gain likes and followers
- How to decide on a YouTube niche
- Your kids will also create video content for their channel
(This means they will learn how to produce, record and edit their own videos using iMovie on their iPhones or iPads. (Great skills to have for future school projects, along with family holidays and vacations!)
