Imagine walking into your classroom, excited to help students create, explore, and engage—only to feel buried under lesson planning, tech struggles, and endless questions like, Where do I even start?
If you’re an educator looking to introduce digital media into your program but don’t have the time, tools, or support to make it happen, you’re not alone.
That’s why Striv Education exists—to give you the curriculum, coaching, and community you need to simplify digital media so you can focus on what matters: teaching.
Digital Media is Exciting—But Managing It Alone is Overwhelming
Teachers like Shawn Ekwall at Waverly High School started small, unsure how to build a student-led media program.
However, by leaning into a structured approach, he empowered students and built a thriving program with over 40 engaged students.
“I’ve learned to trust my kids. Train them, give them opportunities, and then step back. Now, they take ownership, and I don’t have to chase them down to sign up—they want to be there.”
You don’t need expensive equipment, advanced skills, or extra hours in your week—you just need the right system to get started.
The #1 Mistake: Trying to Do It All Yourself
Educators leading digital media programs often feel like they’re on an island. No one gave you a step-by-step guide for making this work while managing everything else on your plate.
That’s why Striv Education’s Digital Media Education (DME) program exists—to take the guesswork out of:
✅ What to teach (structured curriculum so you’re not starting from scratch)
✅ How to implement it (step-by-step coaching and training)
✅ Who to turn to for support (a community of educators who have been in your shoes)Striv Education DME
You Don’t Need to Be a Tech Expert—Just Start with What You Have
One of the biggest myths is that you need the latest equipment to launch an excellent media program.
Scott Parson at Arlington Public Schools learned quickly that it’s not about fancy tools but purpose-driven content.
“Use whatever equipment you have. Your phone might be your best tool. Don’t expect perfection—just start.”
The key is structure and support—exactly what Striv Education provides.
