NSPRA Mini Labs | YouTube

When:  Mar 25, 2026

YouTube is one of the most-used communication tools in school districts, but many teams are still treating it like a file drop instead of a communications platform. This Mini Lab focuses on the practical decisions that make district videos easier to find, easier to understand, and more useful over time. 

We’ll cover: 

  • Uploading videos with clarity and consistency
  • Captions, transcripts, and accessibility basics
  • Titles, descriptions, and tags that improve search
  • Thumbnails that support visibility
  • Organizing channels and playlists for meetings, events, and evergreen content 

Participants will leave with simple guidelines, examples, and a repeatable workflow they can apply immediately.

Presenters: Jake Sturgis, Founder & CEO of Captivate Media + Consulting and Andy Smith, Audio Visual Production Specialist with Minnetonka Public Schools (Minn.)
