Farmington Continuing Education

Join Molly Kuehl, West District's Library Media Specialist, and Nicole Bastianne-Fritch, West Districts Art educator, for the second running of FCE's only video production program! After a brief introduction, students will storyboard, plan, shoot and edit footage, and then showcase their finalized work to their peers. Students will be using Wevideo. In today's digital age, proficiency in multimedia creation is a crucial skill for students. Video production not only enhances creativity but also fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. The objectives of this course are to; introduce students to the basics of video production including planning, filming, editing, and publishing; foster creativity and self-expression through storytelling via video; develop digital literacy skills such as media literacy and digital citizenship; promote collaboration and communication through group projects; and align the learning with currently used education standards.
