Inside The Classroom →
Built on Real Experience. Delivered in Real Classrooms.
Most digital literacy programs are built by people who read about social media. BAM Digital Media was built by someone who spent 15 years inside the platforms—creating campaigns for Disney, Netflix, Amazon, and P&G. That insider knowledge is exactly what your students need to navigate the digital world they already live in.
As a current classroom instructor, national curriculum developer, and host of the Smart With Screens podcast, Schnelle Acevedo brings practical, real-world digital literacy to schools in a way no textbook can.
