Scripted - An Educator’s Guide To Media In The Classroom.
This book is written by three media educators who are Paula Neidlinger, Randy Tomes and Bruce Reicher. The premise of the book is that all teachers and students can create media on a small budget. The book provides every step of creating a vibrant media program in a school at every level K-12. The book includes sections written by WeVideo, Wakelet and Backbone Radio. We can’t wait to see what educators and students create after using the book. Here’s a link to keep updated on the release of the book on August 11, 2020 - https://forms.gle/tLnhNFT3rMy9e7Vy7)
