Get Started, Get Heard
|
|
We've all watched, listened to and read things that move us; that inspires us to think about something in a different way or to take action on an issue that concerns us. We've also all seen the video of the cat swinging from the ceiling fan and read the latest celeb gossip blog.
Think is a place to upload and post ideas that inspire change. Media that tells a story about what issues matter most to you and encourages others to think and take action. In other words: we're not really interested in those videos of cats swinging on fans, not unless, that is, you're posting it to spark a discussion on animal rights or cruelty.

Tips to Getting Heard

Tip 1: Think
Seems obvious, we know, but we can't stress it enough...take a moment and think about what matters to you and what change you want to see in your school, your neighborhood, the world. C'mon. You don't have to be the next Bono, Spike Lee or Mark Twain to have something on your mind and the ability to share it.
|
Tip 2: Choose your medium of change
Maybe it's your cell phone, your recordable mp3 player, or your superior typing skills....whatever the case may be, it's all good. Choose what you'll use and your half way there.
|
Tip 3: Look & Listen
Whether you're writing, shooting or recording....use words and capture images that best get your message across. Imagine what will get people talking and taking action!
|
Tip 4: Get Consent
If uploading a video, audio or photo file, make sure you have the proper consents and refrain from using any copyrighted material.
