Akron Media Production Homecoming/October 2026 Newsletter
The Media Production course is designed to help students learn to engage in an ever-changing digital world. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics including: video production, podcasting, storytelling/journalism, and graphic design.
Students develop hands-on video journalism skills while turning their original ideas into media content to help expand Akron Central Schools' communication within the district and community.
