There are 120 students in the program who are all very interested in the production of different forms of multimedia. Thanks to advertisements and sponsorships from last year we were able to start to buy some new photography and videography equipment to help our program. We are able to use these resources to produce our video announcements show, yearbook, and online newspaper. The goal this year is to continue to purchase more resources so that more students can use the equipment on a daily basis. In return for your support, we can advertise your business to the Saline community in our yearbook. Our goal is to sell over 1000 yearbooks this year so you can be confident that your advertisement will be in many households in the Saline area! If you are able, please consider the following options for supporting us:
Your business/name in our sponsor section: $25 1/8 page ad in the yearbook: $50 1/4 page ad in the yearbook: $100 1/2 page ad in the yearbook: $175 Full page ad in the yearbook: $300 We will also put your name in our sponsor section if you purchase an ad. Please let me know if you are interested in this opportunity or not at this time. If you are interested, I will follow up with instructions on how to start the ad creation and payment process. We appreciate your consideration in helping us here at Saline Middle School! -Saline Middle School Multimedia Crew

Today, my first hour Multimedia students got to experience an "Hour of Code" as part of Computer Science Education Week sponsored by Code.org. It was an awesome time for students to experience the exploding field of Computer Science. Students were led through tutorials that included videos from influential leaders such as BIll Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and Angry Birds coding tasks. It was great to see them celebrating their successes and enjoying a new challenge. Hopefully they will continue to use the resources on Code.org and some will grow a passion for future opportunities in Computer Science.
What an exciting day for the SMS Multimedia Crew! With the funds that students raised last year through yearbook ads, we were able to purchase lots of new equipment including a Nikon DSLR camera with 2 lenses and a Panasonic AVCHD Camcorder. These new items will be a great addition to the equipment that is available to my Multimedia students. I'm excited to train students on using these high-powered pieces of technology and witness the awesome products they will create.
As several students noted today, the SMS Multimedia Crew is... Algebra 1Well, the first day of the 2013-2014 school year is under our belts and, like usual, my voice is shot! It was an exciting day to meet all of my new students. I decided to do something a little different on the first day of school since I knew students would be listening to class policies and procedures all day long. I definitely weaved that into the discussion today because it is important to lay the groundwork for the year on the first day, but also found some time to get students communicating with their neighbors and sharing their opinions on some items for class this year. I asked students to answer the topic on the poster boards one at a time. After they came up with an answer, they discussed their thoughts with their seatmate. After a few minutes of discussion, one of the students took their sticky notes and placed them on the poster board. After all the sticky notes were on the poster board (each class is in a different color), I opened up the discussion to the class to get feedback. It was good to get the kids talking on day one and to hear their thoughts on the following topics: 1. I learn the best/most when... 2. Our classroom should be ________________ every day. 3. My goal for math is... I will be posting these throughout the room as a reminder for the remainder of the school year. I will be posting the 'I learn the best/most when..." in my office so I can reflect on their thoughts and try to tailor the environment to meet their needs. I look forward to learning more about my students as the first week progresses and creating a beneficial learning environment for the students in all of my classes. MultimediaMy Multimedia students will get a chance to do a similar exercise with the sticky notes on Thursday and Friday. I have many duplicate students between Math and Multimedia so I didn't want them to feel like they were doing the same thing in both of my classes. We spent the first day discussing class policies and expectations, learning students' names, discussing the responsibilities of the 3-Headed Multimedia Monster (announcements, online newspaper, and yearbook - more to come on these in a later blog post), and touring the new technology and classroom spaces designed for the SMS Multimedia Crew.
I look forward to another successful year working with the 2013-2014 SMS Multimedia Crew! |
