What We Do
The all-in-one solution for media teachers.
A one-stop shop that delivers you student training/contests, professional development, program consulting and industry expertise.
Student Training
In the Hawaii Creative Media workshops, all students and teachers learn skills necessary to be digital storytellers. From the use of cameras and interviewing to script writing and video editing, participants learn how to not just tell a story but deliver the best possible story. Although the focus is on digital storytelling, teachers and students learn and apply skills needed to succeed in an ever changing 21st century workplace. Through the constant process of revision and critical thinking, professionalism, perseverance, and grit are of the many traits attained. During our workshops student, teachers, and professionals stand shoulder to shoulder working through decision making and solving complex problems.
Professional Development
Now its time to truly take things from good to great. Figuring out the next step of your media class or program is something that many of the team members have faced at one point in time. For some it might be deciding to compete on a national level for the first time and understand the preparation needed for that. Or it could also be as advanced as establishing a middle to high school pipeline program, so that students can seamlessly continue their media journey. Whether it’s taking the dive into national level success, creating a multi-level program, or traveling for competitions, whatever you decide is your next step the HCM team can provide the blueprints to meeting those goals.
Program Consulting
Through meeting, connecting, and conversing, educators are able to learn and grow from others. We understand that everyones’ situation might be different, providing a network of helping hands for others is very important in classroom success. Not only knowing the right people is important but having the right curriculum for your needs is vital to student success. With technology and school situations constantly changing, the Hawaii Creative Media team can assist with curriculum development that’ll fit and accommodate all teachers. Along with having the right curriculum, the HCM team can support educators with demonstrating how to implement it as well.
