There is a community and an audience online for just about every story, idea, and concept. The problem is that many people don’t know how to create their ideas online, and to build and engage a community around those ideas. That is what you will begin to build in this course – a storyworld around your digital media endeavours (whether for personal branding, business or a project). This will include utilizing WordPress to build a professional website, optimizing SEO to that website and an associated youtube channel, niche audience building, creation of and participation in a digital storytelling campaign, measuring social metrics, crowdfunding, crafting appealing email newsletters, and developing a long term strategy for continued community engagement.

Cheer Mission – Changing the Story
Storytelling is a powerful medium for doing good, spreading love and positive messages, and sharing cheer. In this 8-week class our cheer kids will join award winning storytellers and educators, Lori Yearwood (also a dancer) and Erica Hargreave (also a host and character actor) in exploring ways of sharing their stories with authenticity for social good. The cheer students will tune into a weekly 1-hour, interactive zoom class that will have them exploring different elements of storytelling and creating individually and together from afar. At the end of each week’s zoom, the kids will be given a challenge to work on for the week and will be invited to a private online classroom, where they can interact, plan, and share with one another, and problem solve with and ask questions of Lori and Erica.
