Digicom After School Program
/As the year began and we noticed students excel in the summer screenwriting workshop, Impact has decided to collaborate further with Digicom and develop an after school program here at Indio High School. The program offers numerous opportunities for students to create and pursue their passion for digital storytelling.
Recently, some students have been spending a few hours every tuesday after school with digicom to perfect their skills in digital media such as screenwriting, camera angles and shots, and so much more!
Students also have the opportunity to get community service hours by using their digital media skills to create projects for outside sources in the community with the help of digicom.
Why it works?
"Developing Digital Storytelling skills (making short videos) enables students to create their own original videos. This process fosters critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. These skills are the first step in re-engaging students.
Learning the art of Digital Storytelling empowers students and enhances their sense of self, engages them in their learning process, and expand’s their ability to communicate with the world they live in. This completely revolutionizes the educational experience." -Digicom learning
Working together with Digicom is an enriching experience that tells a story about how we can continue to grow and impact our students.
