Digital Skills Outside The Classroom

Video production is one of the specialties in TechLit Africa. Most of the students love video production. In video production, we use an application called OpenShot, which is easy for students to understand.

During my visit to Dreams Hills school this week, I came across Faith. She was my co-teacher last term at video production class. She was excited to see me. Their class was to follow next.

In the OpenShot class, Faith knew how to cut the video using Control-X and knew how to use transitions without me showing her.

Faith told me that during her break from school, with the help of her parents, she installed the OpenShot app on their desktop. She told me that she spent her break learning from YouTube tutorials.
