Last week, Mr Aaron had the opportunity to attend the Alabama AV Bootcamp at Albertville Innovations Academy alongside 11 other Media Production educators representing 9 schools from across Alabama.
The bootcamp provided valuable professional development focused on topics such as studio and field lighting, podcast production, grading and assessment in Career Technical Education, industry trends, and best practices for teaching media production. Participants collaborated, shared ideas, and explored new ways to enhance learning experiences for students.
Mr Aaron also presented, “From VCR to Vodcast: Building a Media Program from the Ground Up,” where he shared the journey of growing our program from its early stages into a thriving media pathway that now provides students with hands-on experience in broadcasting, video production, podcasting, and digital media. The session highlighted key milestones, including expanding student production opportunities, developing industry-relevant coursework, and creating authentic learning experiences that help prepare students for college and careers in the media industry.
