What's Next?
This experience has been by far the best professional development program that a new or struggling journalism teacher could possibly receive. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The the question is, "What are you going to do when you get home?"
In a short poll given Thursday evening, several attendees were asked that very question. Many of the same answers were echoed throughout.
For some, there is the gathering of all the notes and typing them so that they can be legible. Second, make a plan and determine how the information will be used and last, in some cases, deal with the problem of equipment and gathering support.
This video was compiled as a fun way to remember each other and possibly think about what comes next.
(Apologies go to those attendees from the institute who were not interviewed due to lack of time.)

Great Video. I am glad to see that the lessons that were taught to us were put to wise use! I am excited that we were able to learn Final Cut, well learn what we could that is. I was always fascinated at how people could to these mini movies, and now I know.
ReplyDeleteGreat job and a great idea,Denice. You have certainly put the classroom experience to practice.
ReplyDeleteDenice, what are great video you put together!
ReplyDeleteWhat I see in the video is a group of really dedicated professionals who took full advantage of this great opportunity. So many people talked about going back through their notes and working to apply the lessons to their classroom.
Many teachers are also going to other PD this summer. I'm very proud to be working with teachers who value themselves as professionals and are willing to give up some of their summer for their kids.
