St. Bernard Elmwood Place High School

Jasinoski’s innovative teaching idea, “Daily Titan Production,” focuses on engaging students in a versatile music production class. Students engaged in the project have the ability to create, produce and edit video-based announcements every day for the entire school. Recognizing the importance of music and media to grow, communicate and empower, Jasinoski invented the project as a vehicle to impact the student body and broader community. With the Voya grant, Jasinoski will be able to acquire the proper equipment to teach her students the basics of movie and music editing. By advancing both creativity and critical thinking skills, and exposing students to multimedia early on, Jasinoski hopes to cultivate young leaders in an increasingly technology-focused age.
