Innovation J-Camp July 8-12, 2019
Innovation J-Camp will be held July 8-12, 2019 in the Center for Innovation in Media at the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University.
The workshop will teach high school students to be innovative digital journalists, able to tell stories for multiple platforms including: video, web, broadcast, mobile and print.
Registration cost is $150 for five-days of camp, lunches provided.
Participants will use the latest video, audio and mobile gear to produce a package of multimedia stories for posting on a website they will build during the camp. Canon USA is a sponsor of the camp and will provide the latest digital video cameras.
Each day students will learn about new digital platforms and will be given hands-on assignments to compliment classroom instruction. Students will spend the majority of their time in the field gathering stories and working with camp instructors to edit their stories into digital packages.
At the end of Innovation J-Camp each participant will post a video story, photo story and written story to a WordPress.com website they will build and learn to manage.
