You are so lucky, and I am so lucky to have such a great association with all of you. I start school tomorrow, and am really kind of nervous to get this started. This will be my second year doing online newpaper. (Really, first! The first one doesn't count!

I am starting over again by adding audio and video components to the program!

I...I can't say enough good about this program. I was soooo lucky to have two wonderfully productive seminars this summer. <br /><br />As for the work at Duke, it was about four hours of interviewing (Marantz PMD 660) and zillions more navigating Pro Tools, cutting away excess tape, shaping the narratives (we got at least five from our subject, Mr. Kerr), negotiating with the partner you were paired up with and the people you dragged over to the computer to hear your piece again and again, etc. When it worked, you high-fived and whooped it up. It was a great reminder that that is what you want your students to be doing this year, too. It is absolutely addictive to work so hard and have so much fun. <br /><br />I feel so fortunate to have met all of you this past summer. Jeff's amazingly timely response to me about the cameras is like money in the bank. I really feel like I have people in my corner who can help me figure out things and man, that is invaluable. <br />Yeah all you!!!!!<br />joannaMs. Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683799441849592131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785685652828043459.post-15720617698837939762009-08-05T10:13:52.910-07:002009-08-05T10:13:52.910-07:00Sounds like it was a great opportunity to particip...Sounds like it was a great opportunity to participate in this program.
