"The utilization of a visual medium as an education tool lends itself to innumerable explorations... Taproot, Inc.'s founding members, Linda Flanders and, Dorothy Halla-Poe have upended the standard training module by using students as actors, allowing them to explore the everyday risks that youth encounter and face. As educators, we constantly ask and probe, "How do we instruct students to connect the abstract to the real?”

An Introduction To The Movie Making Process©

As educators, we must acknowledge that our children have grown within the digital age. The alternative styles to an education are limitless and it is paramount to provide understanding through associative visual learning and active experience. The members of Taproot, Inc. are laying the foundation for these opportunities and many others within the field of education."
