Explore publishing opportunities through KQED’s Youth Media Challenges that can connect students to an audience beyond the classroom
Understanding identity is a key developmental task of adolescence that deepens their relationships with each other, breaks down stereotypes they may have of their peers, and nurtures a sense of community and belonging. It is important for educators to support adolescents’ exploration of who they are and how they fit into the world around them. How can educators support young people in sharing a powerful message, memory, story, value or life lesson about themselves or their community?
In this interactive virtual workshop, participants will explore Facing History’s classroom ready materials and KQED’s First Person Youth Media Challenge project. Educators will use project planning resources and web-based media creation tools to create a multimedia personal narrative and learn how students can publish their work on KQED’s Youth Media Showcase to share their stories beyond the classroom.
This workshop is most applicable for middle and high school educators. Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
This event will be hosted online via Zoom. Captioning will be provided during this workshop. Details for joining the Zoom meeting will be shared by email prior to the event. This event will not be recorded.
