Thanks to ALL of you who participated in our online survey. The results revealed that:
- Students want to continue to participate in their creative teams online
- There's interest in forming online writing clubs
- Youth are excited to video chat with renowned authors, screenwriters and filmmakers
- Inspirational videos with writing tips could be fun and informative
- Many youth want to create a Boom Site Newsletter
- A public online screening and release party of student podcasts, films and written work is a must! :)
We will be working next week to put online programming together and will use ZOOM as our cyber meeting space. If anyone has an expertise with ZOOM, and could help Jenna and I set up a vibrant online platform, we'd really appreciate it!
