Video Broadcast Technology (more accurately described as Digital Communication) is a project-based course focused on the creation of digital objects. Projects are open-ended and self-paced. Kids work on one module as a class, two modules independently, and three modules in teacher-selected groups.

The project module order is:
 * 1) Copycat Challenge (individual: 1 day)
 * 2) Digital Citizenship (whole-class lesson: 2 days)
 * 3) PSA (group: 3 weeks)
 * 4) Stop Motion (group: 2 weeks)
 * 5) Digital Storybook (group: 3 weeks)
 * 6) Choice of Computer Animation or GarageBand Song (individual: 2 weeks)

This class design is intended to maximize 21st Century Skill development: communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Students who master the larger projects more quickly will have the opportunity to extend their learning through fun enrichment activities.

Class Norms:
 * Students are expected to contribute to their group and to the class as a whole.
 * Students are expected to be self-starters and use class time wisely.
 * Students are expected to treat the classroom equipment with great care.
 * Students are requested to bring earbuds to class daily.
