DIGITAL MAGIC In addition, Digital Magic Teachers Workshops have been implemented to provide Mississippi educators with model lesson plans and learn how to effectively incorporate film projects into the classroom. “We are able to provide instruction to teachers who see the program as another tool to support their teaching efforts, especially since they are able to incorporate mathematics, language arts, history, social studies, communication and interpersonal relationship skill-building as a part of the teaching process,” explained Clopton.
“Dr. Clopton helped me find passion in documentary filmmaking along with passion in storytelling that easily transfers over to my other pursuits.” – William Lindsey, Digital Magic student

Teachers from across Mississippi have participated in the workshop hosted at MDAH, including teachers from the Canton Public School District, Greene County School District, Jackson Public Schools, Madison School District, North Delta School District, Ocean Springs School District, Rankin County School District and Warren County School District as well as Benedict Day School and Jackson Academy. Presenting institutions also give CEUs to the participating teachers. “From the first time I met Dr. Wilma Clopton, it was clear that she wants what is best for students and educators in our state,” said Al Wheat, director of education at MDAH. “She truly ‘gets it;’ and with the work she is doing, I can only see positive outcomes for enhancing 21st century skills in our students. I’ve seen the impact of Digital Magic firsthand, and it’s truly stellar to see our students in Mississippi experimenting with, and excelling at, documentary filmmaking and digital storytelling.” “Dr. Wilma Clopton has a great love of Mississippi and its history,” added Brother Rogers, director, programs and communication division at MDAH. “MDAH was thrilled to have her lead a teacher workshop to help teachers understand how to teach students to make documentaries. Students who use this cutting-edge technology will help preserve our state's history in new ways.” Digital Magic is already in the works to by presented in 2020 by many more library systems and other organizations across the state. “It is our responsibility, and privilege, to share our historical knowledge and skills with young Mississippians who are looking for ways to share and document their own unique voices and interests with others,” noted Clopton. “This is why we created the Digital Magic filmmaking program.”
