Broadcast Studio Day!

This morning we quickly gathered in our room at 9:00 and ran over some basic procedures before heading over to the Broadcast Studio at St. Peter.  We arrived at the studio around 9:45 and were greeted by the always wonderful, Ms. Perrey.  She welcomed us into the studio and took us on a quick tour of the entire studio before we began to actually film our broadcasts.  Each group had a chance to use the camera's to film a broadcast, work video and soundboards, act and edit broadcasts today. 
It's important to note that this project was very student centered and students were responsible for all aspects of the day.  In the video below Ms. Perrey gives us a quick video tour of the Broadcast Studio:

Once all the filming concluded we had a quick lunch break before moving on to editing the broadcasts.  Each group had one iMac or Macbook to edit their projects on.  We did run into a few technical difficulties with the computers, but I was very impressed with how each group was able to handle any problems that came their way and actually finish editing their projects within an hour.

Today was an absolute success and we are very blessed to have such a wonderful and talented class this year.  This group of students has continuted to impress me throughout the year with their responsiblity and maturity both inside and outside of the classroom.  Keep up the good work!
