Both my English and my AP Seminar students are learning to create arguments geared toward an academic context. But most of us interact with argumentation and persuasion on digital platforms, and often it video as opposed to written texts. These video bundles will help my students take their works created for the classroom and adapt them for the kinds of communication that dominate a modern digitally-literate world.
By adding additional hardware and software to students' smartphones, they will take the skill learned in the classroom and transfer them to real world applications that can give them a much larger presence for their personal voices. Digitally literacy begins with learning to use our resources in a way that benefits society, and effective tools make that task much easier. And once students have the skills, their voices can move beyond the classroom to make them "citizen rhetoricians" and a voice for others.
My band students will also benefit from access to better equipment as a tool for both self-reflection and evaluation of their playing, as well as using the same editing software as a way to promote themselves as young musicians, particularly if they aspire to continue with music beyond high school.
