CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT SUGGESTED RESOURCES MENTOR PROGRAM

We walk you through how to acquire donated equipment and create effective mentorship programs with universities and professionals. Our methods draw from the practice of journalism to engage students in research, writing, and media production. This curriculum was created by instructors and advanced-level students from the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon, supported by a grant from the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics. Specifically, the project acknowledges the importance of empowering students to become “digital citizens” ––active participants in the advancement of democracy.

 Camera technology advances so rapidly that it is easier to acquire used donated gear. Inquire at your local journalism school or library about older cameras and laptops they may be retiring. Older model iPod Touch devices can be found online for under $75, and Apple iBooks for under $100 (complete with iMovie video editing software). Businesses within your community can also be a resource for financial support. Three or four cameras and laptops are enough to get you started. Tripods are essential and can be found online for under $10 each.

 Look to your local university’s journalism or media arts program to identify instructors and advanced-level students willing to volunteer support. Many universities require faculty and students to log community service hours, and some offer students academic credit. Additionally, media professionals are often willing to donate time and resources. Check with your local newspaper, radio, and television station’s editorial team. Local media can also be an outlet for publishing your students’ work.
