8000 York Road,Towson MD 21252

28 October, 2021

Description

Learn the skills to make (and teach) interactive filmmaking using YouTube. Interactive, game-like experiences can help students engage more deeply with academic content. Making those interactive experiences to teach an audience will take your students to a whole new level of understanding your material. The Emmy-award winning Black Mirror: Bandersnatch recently created renewed interest in the rich history of interactive storytelling and branching narrative. Choose-Your-Own-Adventure stories are a format that brings user-choice into linear narrative, and YouTube makes this interactive format accessible for filmmaking. Using simple tools available in YouTube’s interface, you and your students can create branching, choice-based video experiences to learn and teach your content area through interactive video projects. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. Ryan Murray, FACET Fellow for Emerging Technology
