Leadership, problem-solving and team-working skills are essential for students who want to succeed in the workforce, as are creativity and media literacy. Through filming and video production programs, many schools nationwide are teaching these skills to students -- and refining them -- in an interesting and hands-on way.
At Westlake High School in Austin, Texas, for example, students don’t just watch their varsity football team from the stands — they film
the athletes in action and create a broadcast that runs in the greater Austin area. To read more about this program and another, as well as how to fund such programs in your district, download The Learning Lens.
