Kentucky Office of film and tourism says that state has seen a whopping 600%

producing media broadcasts. In addition, we will be using the instructional videos that are currently on the holler to help students learn how to use tools effectively in creating a digital boardcast.
Students need to be able to express themselves, develop hands-on skills, be able to collaborate with others, build their research skills, and demonstrate the
understanding of the design model for media: Pre-production/Production/Post­Production. In addition, there is a need for them to be able to use technology and other 21st Century skills to create a product.
During the project we will involve students in the Middle and High School, Teachers, District Technology Coordinator, Innovation Coordinator, and STLP
students. We will be using various forms of Technology involved will include:
Mevo, I pads, Digital Cameras, Microphones, Computers for editing, Digital media
