LET'S GET THIS STARTED!

This is a new blog from the GET ON MY LEVEL workshop at STREET-LEVEL YOUTH MEDIA in Chicago, IL.  Our workshop blends learning skills in digital media and developing media literacy. Last Fall and early Winter were the first days of this program.  Together we learned a lot of essential skills in programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as essential skills in concept development.   It was amazing how quickly and easily all the youth got into it.

Despite all that, there was something nagging at us at the end of that session.  After a lot of analysis we realized our problem was that the work wasn't leaving our workshop.  We've got to get this stuff out into the world!  So this session we'll post on this blog as the beginning of our web presence and we'll also be bringing our projects out into our neighborhoods and larger communities.  When we do something in the real world we'll try to document it somehow and post it here too.  There will be a lot of different youth posting on here very soon and very often. So please keep checking in with us.
