How can students speak their minds through video?

Allowing a child to tell their story utilizing multimedia can be a powerful tool. Many times students feel as if we stifle their voice or do not understand ideas they are trying to convey. Telling their story through varied forms of multimedia is one way students can channel feelings of compassion, concern, and sometimes even frustration that will capture an intended audience attention. For example, the video presented by Consuelo Molina was a touching and sensitive issue. However, it is an area of great concern for many individuals and certainly informative enough to capture national attention. I feel that sometimes our students feel as if their voice is silenced and their thoughts, ideas, and concerns do not matter. Multimedia is just one way students can stimulate and captivate their audience while sharing informative information.
