Text Updates for All Classes

This year I'm using Remind to send updates about important class information. To sign up for 1415barberall notifications, please visit https://www.remind.com/join/clmsitvall?utm_source=email&utm_medium=android&utm_campaign=join_invite

This is a big change since I usually use a service called Cel.ly.  Remind has better attachment management features.

Welcome!

Welcome to the 2014-2015 academic year!  We have high expectations and lofty goals.  I look forward to working with this year's e-MAS staff to produce the best broadcast season yet!

Moodle Module: Process of Production - Production

The second module in Moodle this semester will deal with the PRODUCTION phase of what we do.  The assignments will be graded seperately and students are in charge of whether they complete the assignments in class during production time or at home.  The second module assignments will be due on March 7.

Production Calendar=WINNING!

I'm extremely proud of the newly formed 2nd semester news crews. We've switched up a major procedure when it comes to planning our news shows and they are rockin' and rollin' with the changes. In the time it would normally take us to plan two news shows, we've managed to plan almost every show for the rest of the year! Way to go e-MAS crews! I can't wait to begin production on these well organized broadcasts. 

2014 Lucid Film Festival Website Up

I've decided to publish the 2014 Lucid Film Festival website "as is" and delegate all further content creation to students. Students will work collaboratively using MyPolkApps to generate plot summaries, cast bios, and much more.  I'm looking forward to the journey as this year's festival takes shape beneath creative, capable hands of my wonderful students.

Welcome to the Second Semester!

The second semester of ITV will continue to produce daily episodes of e-MAS, but also carry a stronger emphasis upon cinematic technique and digital storytelling. Students will have multiple opportunities to write, operate equipment, and edit video projects. 

As with last semester, students can access all relative resources via the class website http://tinyurl.com/itvhome. This includes Moodle, student portal (for grade checking), and all notes presented in class.

As a side note, behavioral expectations are high when it comes to these privileges and those students who fail to maintain those expectations will be given alternate assignments.

Also, quick reminder that the 5 Frame Comic homework assignment is due on Monday for odd classes and Tuesday for even classes. Details in student portal and at https://docs.google.com/a/mypolkschools.net/document/d/1JCiV6onlp91sIKnwbP2l6PtufaDAFeP960dQAbc4o-o/edit?usp=docslist_api 

Just for fun, here's the uncropped collage from the "Welcome to ITV" presentation.
