Dr. Nancy Richmond // Professor // Florida International University // College of Business: “Filmmaking For Good has greatly increased my capacity to teach digital storytelling to the students in my social media class at Florida International University. Not only do I endorse the curriculum, I feel strongly that students should have the opportunity to develop digital skills while making a difference in their community on social issues that are important to them. Filmmaking for Good is a great tool for teachers, especially if you’re not professionally trained in videography and editing. The worksheets, instructional videos, and sample videos will do all the heavy lifting of teaching the material for you. It’s a win for teachers, a win for students, and a win for educational institutions that need to engage students virtually during the pandemic.”
