I’m excited to announce the release this week of the final episode of season one of “The Field Trip Game,” a new video series from KQED. This is the first KQED show created by and for young people!
I was so excited to hear that the producers wanted to feature rollerskating in one of the episodes, since that is a big passion of mine. But I was very nervous when they asked me to teach the skate lesson. Although I’ve been an educator for more than 15 years, and a dedicated rollerskater, I’ve never taught a beginner skating class. But I consulted a bunch of knowledgeable skaters and teachers and came up with an easy, quick intro to skating that I think went really well.
Kudos to our youth media makers and KQED education staff who supported them throughout the long production process. I hope you like it!
