At Caruthers Elementary School, the Making it Real-Videography Access project introduced videography and video editing technology to middle school students in Creative Dramatics, Journalism, Yearbook, and Computer Literacy classes. This project provided opportunities not previously afforded to students in the school district. Many students come from families with low socioeconomic status (90.4% free/reduced lunch), are migrant students, or are English Learners. Special day class students with disabilities enrolled in non-core classes also benefited. The ultimate goal was for students to make short, original video productions. Students learned how to handle and maintain the equipment and lessons were given on video methods, camera angles and movements, lighting, audio production, and video editing. This learning happened primarily by hands-on experiences with video equipment and editing software.
