Student Public Service Show
Staff comment:
Take a look at the video, Schoolwide Implementation: Benjamin Franklin Middle School. Ben Franklin Broadcast Network is alive and well.
Mary Scroggs Elementary School and Nuuanu, a 400-student K-6, both have a daily closed-circuit school television news show.
technology partners
If anyone has - or knows of a high school video lab working in concert with your public television network to create student produced video based projects - I would like to hear from you. I am trying to get an idea of what is out there - what works and what doesn't.
Teaching using today's digital technologies
Teaching using the digital technology we have today attracts attention from students, faster than the paper pencil technique and the text books that cost too much and are not engaging.Not only does technology get students involved,teachers can communicate faster with one another just by the click of a button. Teachers should put together a curriculum for their classes using smart boards. This technology is very helpful at grabbing the students interest.By using smart boards, a whole class can be trasnsported at the same time on a virtural tour to many places that they might never get a chance to go to otherwise.
Technology allow transition from simple to dimensional, from scanning to slideshows, discovering writing through navigation and involves a flow that takes only minutes instead of hours.It is communication that is now part of a culture, a way of life.
