Journalism teachers can be their own island. StoryMaker connects us to resources, lessons and each other. The content on the site saves us the time and anguish of building our lessons all alone!

​​StoryMaker is just the tool we need as educators to help our students navigate the world of media and storytelling.

Producing video stories makes students proficient in technology and critical thinking skill sets, but it also builds capacity for tackling complex text and projects, encourages the 'figuring out' mindset and makes the scholar own their learning.
