Blog Group 1: 21st Century Communicators need Dual Skill Sets

        As a parent in the 21st century, I have found it just as important to teach technology as it is to teach reading mechanics. As a mother and educator, I do both. My son has learned how to use and peruse through smartphones, tablets, and computers starting at the age of 2. He learned this before he started reading. This ability has allowed him to understand geometrics and engineer manipulatives on the screen. This made me wonder what some of the skills are needed to be the Film or Television producer he wants to become. I am sure technological advances have altered the requirements for students entering the work world after completing training programs in the industry.

         New skill sets in addition to the old ones such as public speaking skills and production. It is best to be train in additional things like finance and economics in order to be able to manage and  budget  the production finances. On top of the technological aspects, this is needed in order to have the skills needed for the job and set yourself apart from others entering the field. In order work in this industry core courses in economics and statistics are strongly suggested.
