Spotlight is thrilled to announce the launch of “StudentSpeak,” a new teen-produced reality series on how teens use digital media in their day-to-day lives. Every other week, Chicago students will take viewers inside their world, and show how technology is transforming how they think, learn and socialize. Watch the sneak preview produced by Ben Wolff.

This preview features Shani, 17, a senior at University of Chicago Charter School, Woodlawn Campus, and Terrence, 17, a senior at Whitney Young High School. You’ll see more of them in the first webisode airing in December.
“Media has a lot to do with who I am today,” says Shani, speaking for many of her peers. “Not that I let it define me, but rather I define it, with my cell phone, iPod, laptop, TV, video games, video camera and my favorite, the internet.”
Watch Shani and Terrence share their digital media journey—the first of many to come.
