(Morehead, Kentucky) – Teachers from Lawrence, Meniffee, Lee, and Ohio Counties spent three long and productive days honing their skills in modern communications. Today’s student is required to use visual, audio, text, speech, and all forms of communication to successfully navigate today’s working world. The 2017 Western Kentucky Mountain Workshops Teacher Track exposed educators to an array of tools and techniques.
As you can see from the photos below, this was a sun up to well past sun down, hands-on workshop that pushed teachers out of their comfort zones and presented new opportunities for their students. While much of the workshop is focused on photojournalism, it is really a program on CRITICAL THINKING. Analyze. Take appropriate action. Evaluate. Adjust. Achieve best results.
It is hard to explain this experience, but we wanted to share some of the knowledge you can benefit your students. Here are a series of links to video resources:
