One of the most difficult tasks for any teacher or parent is to keep their students’ energized and motivated during class time, especially during this time of the pandemic where classrooms have become virtual. When lessons become complex and new concepts are introduced, sometimes students let their minds wander and lose focus as well as motivation. 


How we encourage students in the classroom

There is no secret formula… or is there? Digistars has multiple programs for educators to use to help students learn any subject through movie making.  

At Digistars, we have seen firsthand how taking advantage of the developing technological tools around us can make even the most mundane topics fun to learn. Movie making creates an opportunity for students to take an active role in the learning process and motivate them to engage in the lesson.

Is your student a Digistar?

We offer curricula for three types of moviemaking useful for academic endeavors: Documentary Filmmaking, Live Action Filmmaking, and Stop Motion Animation. Each of these programs lead students along the path from acquiring to presenting knowledge. Instructional videos are interwoven with film analysis and production activities to come together into the finished movie project by the end of the program.

Digital storytelling engages students and inspires them to become active participants in their learning process. It reaches learners of different learning styles to spark excitement in the classroom and improve attendance.

By using Digistars programs, your students will become more actively engaged in their education. Are you ready for your students to take part in these programs and become Digistars? Digistars encourages young filmmakers to create high quality films with professional touches.
