Local Resources for Book Talk Clubs and Self-Directed Learning

Session Two with the staff from R.C.T.V. went well. It is really worth investigating your local t.v. station to see what they offer in the way of loaning equipment and training to use the equipment. In the town I teach in, the t.v. studio rocks! They came to the classroom, in two sessions of about an hour, to teach how to use the movie camera and editing software, Final Cut Pro. 

We will use the equipment to film and edit the students' book talks. Students can also use the equipment for their self directed learning projects. What a great opportunity! In addition, at the studio, there is a green screen and a full working kitchen set. I have a student who will film her cooking show in this kitchen for her SDL project. 

Exciting things afoot in Room 16!
