TLAM students are learning to apply digital tools that are helpful
to many future careers including those in journalism, broadcasting,
writing, and reporting.
Twin Lakes Academy Middle School (TLAM) will start the 2021-2022
year off with a Newspaper and Podcast club that are student managed.
Both sections of the club in reporting and podcasting are growing
nationally and influencing careers for students with passions and
visions for creating content, blogging, microblogging, broadcasting,
writing, speaking, web development and reporting.

The global expansion of technology tools and platforms are influencing
what students are being exposed to and they are being influenced
in their thoughts, behaviors, choices and social engagements.
Writing is important, has connections to reading and comprehension
that are valuable so students can be prepared for careers that demand
higher levels of thinking, problem solving, creativity and higher order reasoning.

Reading and comprehending, what is being read are both vital skill sets
to perform actions that employers are looking for in future employees.
Podcasting is a skill that helps students beyond reading and comprehension. It integrates verbal skills, student to student collaborations and working in teams to accomplish goals.

Audio and video have grown for years, providing information that even addresses accessibility issues for the visually and auditory impaired.
New technologies are making it easier to create, develop, publish, and
connect content for collaborations that can branch out globally.

TLAMNPC and TLAMPodcast can share content that students, parents,
and the community can access and enjoy. Students are growing in their
skills, talents, and abilities that 21st century career are demanding.
We are providing digital learning platforms that are engaging, fun and
are used as educational resources not just in school, but in the whole community.

Students must be able to move forward in the learning application and development of web based software and programs to build their digital
brands as thought leaders, content creators and digital innovators.

The works of Ms. Canepa and Mr. Jackson are preparing students at
TLAM for future careers that have not even been created yet.
