intro about We are all media producers: the parent shooting cell-phone video of the school play, the friend sharing vacation photos on Instagram, the smallbusiness owner tweeting about new products and discounts, the young couple announcing the birth of their first child on Facebook. With smart phones in our pockets, many of us carry video cameras wherever we go. And with the widespread use of social media, more and more of us are publishing our creations. But how do we take these exciting new tools and use them to tell compelling stories? Now in its fourth season, the Dorrance H. Hamilton Public Media Commons continues WHYY’s commitment to sharing the institutional knowledge it has acquired nearly 60 years of media production. With courses for teens, middle schoolers, adult learners and educators, the Public Media Commons offers students of all ages the skills they need to add their own stories to the public dialogue. All public media Commons programs offer hands-on, project-based experiences. adult learning Courses Adult Learning Courses are geared toward adult learners with stories to tell. Classes cover topics such as camera use, editing skills and documentary video production. Beginning and advanced classes — all taught using commonly available computer equipment and popular editing applications such as Final Cut Pro — are offered. WHYY’s instructors are well-versed in working with students at different skill levels, combining discussions of the storytelling process with the necessary technical skills. Professional Development Courses for Educators Educators participating in professional development courses learn methods for implementing 21st Century Learning Skills in their classrooms. They learn to help their students create digital media and receive tips for integrating those skills into existing curricula and projectbased learning approaches. Courses are approved for Pennsylvania Act 48 credit. WHYY will also provide documentation for Delaware and New Jersey educators. Participants may be teachers of any content area looking for a new outlet for student expression and education. Classroom video and audio production projects are designed to be student-centered. As such, participating teachers learn to guide their students through handson lessons while students develop their voices as multimedia storytellers. 3 4
