SALT LAKE CITY — A series of locally produced videos focused on education issues has racked up some serious viewership numbers since being released in early February.
The five videos, part of Envision Utah's My Education, Our Future campaign have earned a cumulative million views between YouTube and social media sites. And ads for the campaign have been seen 11 million times, including over 1.7 million unique Utah viewers.
The videos highlight five principles/concepts aimed at helping students and parents of students get on the road to academic success from preschool to college.
The My Education, Our Future website states the goal of the outreach is "to help everyone in Utah understand the specific things we can do to make sure all Utahns get the kind of education that leads to prosperous communities, strong families and great quality of life."
Other content on the site includes brief audio stories from students, educators and community leaders sharing anecdotes and insight about how education experiences changed (or are changing) their lives. And, visitors to the site can submit their personal education stories to add to the narrative.
