Media Productions – Course Overview

The Media Productions class is designed to develop students as creators and critical users of technology, rather than passive consumers. Serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade, the course builds a vertically aligned foundation in digital literacy, creativity, and responsible technology use.

In kindergarten and first grade, students learn the basic mechanics of digital creation using tools such as Wixie and Google Draw to express ideas through images and simple designs. Second and third graders expand their skills by creating digital presentations across multiple platforms, learning safe and responsible technology use, and gaining introductory exposure to coding concepts. In fourth and fifth grade, students apply their skills through hands-on exploration of photography, videography, podcasting, yearbook production, digital design, and advanced digital citizenship.

Through this progression, Media Productions supports communication, collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving while preparing students for future CTAE pathways and technology-rich learning environments.

Media Productions has taught me how to edit and use computer programs better than I would’ve before. Mrs. Nicholson is a great teacher and makes everything seem fun. She has taught me so much on computers and how all the other programs work. It even inspired me to start editing videos at home. Media Productions helped me learn a lot about computers, and I can see my skill on computers rise a lot, and it's all from this pathways. -Leela Jones
