2 weeks away from school starting
Ok here is the deal we are 2 weeks away from the start of school and I am going to need all hands on deck for this year. Next week is called pre-planning for me and the rest of the staff. I have to be there from Tuesday to Friday planning for next year. I will need help setting up the A/V room on Wednesday from 8am-3pm. If you can come and help that would be great. Also on Friday we need to get together and working on the video that will be shown the first day of school and make sure that all teachers have a connection in their classrooms to show the announcements.

If you want to be there all week that will work too. Anytime you can help will be wonderful and awesome. I just need to know when you will be in so I can make sure that the door is open and I am around. Tuesday will not be a good day because we are in meetings all morning and some of the afternoon. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be the best days to work.

I am working on the course guide for the class at this time. I know who is in the class, and will be sending out some letters this week informing them of the class and the desire that I have to see them next week if possible to work on the room and teach some basic stuff. We will be hitting the ground running with no net so please get on board so this will be a success. I need 3 people to video some of the first day activities so we can show them during announcements on Tuesday.

See ya next week if you can make it.

Live Yearbook
Mr. Russell has given me the opportunity to do the live yearbook this year. We need to get started on this ASAP. I will need some of you the first day of school filming as the kids come in and to work your way around the courtyard as the students get started back to school.

Today as we are working in the room we will start talking about what we need to do to get this new program off the ground. I hope to see you all there this morning.

Welcome to the PRHS Multi-Media Production Wikispaces page.
This page is designed to relay information and calendar events for this Multi-media production class. Come back and check this site out often to see what is going on.
Ok here is the page for the Multi-Media production class page. This page will give you all the information that you need to know about what we are doing as a class. I am hoping to post some thoughts so you can understand what I am looking for when it comes to this class and what you will be expected to do in the class.
First check out the discussion page where I have posted the pre-planning stuff that needs to be done. You can respond to any post and make suggestions. As of right now we have the IMAC and one camera. We are expecting to get the other equipment next week except the 2 cameras that are on backorder. So as of right now we are going to be really behind the 8 ball when it comes to the learning the equipment and how it will all come together.
There are many things that I would like to do this year but the big three are the following.
1. Announcements for the school (Shown daily) during 5th period.
2. Morning Radio Show (Will explain details during pre-planning if you can be there)
3. Web-Streaming of Football games, and announcements.
If we accomplish these 3 goals we will be off to a good start.
Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

Pre-Planning week
ok guys here is the deal for pre-planning week. Teachers come back to school on August 18th. We need to be at school on August 17th all day. We will be getting the media room ready for the first day of school. On Friday we will show the opening day video for the teachers so we can test their projectors, and DVD/VCR Combo. If there is a problem we can fix it at that time. If it can't be fixed we will have to put in a service request. We may attempt to get into the rooms early to make sure that the projectors are up and running.

During pre-plannig we will be recording and working on the "since you've been gone" video. This video will include Administration interviews, video of the work in the courtyard, and other things that the kids need to know when they come back. We also need to work on the radio station idea. I need outdoor speakers that we can hang from the 2nd floor so we will not have to move them and can use them everyday. I will fill you in on that more when we meet. If you have some ideas and know where we can find some speakers really cheap let me know.

As of right now I do not know if you are in my 7th period but we are making evert effort to have to working with me. If that does not happen I have been told that I will have an office aide every period. Joe you and Cole may be with me during your LINK period or Periods. If you are not in 7th period you will be working on video work and I will fill you all in on that when the time comes up.

Our new equipment will be in next week with the exception of the 2 cameras that we have on order. When they come in I will make sure that they are put to good use right away.

Let's meet Thursday August 6th at 10am to start working on the paint. I will pick it up and we can knock that out asap. It looks like we will be in 5-10 this year with both offices as storage and a editing bay. Let's make sure that we keep good care of the offices so they will let us keep them.

As of right now I have 5th period off so that means I will be in the media room working on video and script writing for the afternoon. If you want to spend time working on that kind of stuff feel free to stop by.

Ok that is a lot to throw at you at one time. Keep looking back at this site and I will also be texting information as it comes to me. You can respond to this thread with questions or comments. Please do I will check this a lot.

Have a great rest of the summer. I am excited to see you all in the fall.
