My students in my school TV Production class are creative individuals who enjoy working together in teams to develop daily school news and skits for the whole school to see. They enjoy challenges and are able to work on their own, hunting down stories and interviewing people in the school and community.
The school TV Production students enjoy working under pressure with real-world deadlines and take initiative to ensure the stories are accurate and purposeful.
Whether it be interviewing a student or faculty member or promoting a community event, my class covers the broad spectrum of daily news and adds exciting supplemental skits that showcase their creativity.
My Project
My TV Production class consists of twenty four highly motivated students who work in eight teams, producing daily news and digital skits to support school programs, community outreach, and noble causes. Our class provides high quality, daily news broadcasts for the students, faculty, and staff. In addition, our TV Production class produces special skits that build awareness of community/societal issues such as Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Animal Shelter Donation drives, Pasta for Pennies, Toys for Tots, Food For Thought, etc... Our news teams work hard to create special edition coverage for pep rallies, track meets, basketball games, chorus, band, orchestra recitals, Lego robotics competitions, school art gallery showings, etc...
The TV Production class is divided into eight teams, each using an iPad to record and build news movies that are then edited and pushed out as a link to the entire school.
Unlike a stationary news room, the iPads provide the necessary mobility to seek out interviewees and cover news worthy events around the school and community. After several years of use, two of our iPads are no longer in operational order. We are now two iPads short and are in need of replacements. Please help our TV Production class continue to support our school and community.
