Join Stu Jernigan and Rachel Roberson and Angel Valerio from KQED for this powerful interactive workshop on informational literacy.
Informational media is critical in today's society by providing the knowledge and know-how to navigate the complex and constantly evolving world. KQED’s Show What You Know Youth Media Challenge invites students to create their own informational media and share their voice, expertise or curiosity about topics they care about. In this interactive workshop, KQED and WeVideo partner to explore ready-to-use curriculum and media-making resources, jump into video pre-production, and start a mini-documentary to use as a model with students. You’ll leave with everything you need to leverage WeVideo and implement KQED’s Show What You Know Youth Media Challenge in the next school year!
