Dangling Projects:

Karina and Julissa-- please create a CD of the Kambiti Beyond Borders interview to give to them.

Portfolios are due today, as a QuickTime file (.mov) on the Hard Drive.  Look for the 4th Pd. Portfolio Folder.  Check your portfolio against the list at right before exporting.

Feel free to burn a CD Copy of your portfolio.
Today we'll also review for the final and start packing up the studio.  Busy Busy Busy!

Ghost Town

Well Pardner, it's just us and the horses now (cue wind noise and blowing tumbleweed)....

Thanks for your patience as we transitioned Seniors to Graduation.  NOW we can focus on YOU!

Portfolios are due as a Quick Time file (see requirements to the right) this Thursday by the end of class.   Save your portfolio file to your desktop, then copy it to my Hard Drive.

You are welcome to create a CD of your work.  I can help you with the CD creation and Burn process if you like; just let me know.

After Portfolios are done on Thursday we'll pack up the Studio :(

Friday we'll review for your Final Exam, which happens on Tuesday the 21st.

Wow, what a week!

Today, the Beyond Borders folks are here to collect donations.  The Kambiti team will record this for broadcast on our Wednesday show.

Here's the lineup for our last show, so far:

• Kambiti Donations (pre-recorded)
• JROTC (live interview with team: Nelson)
• Teacher of the Year (live reveal with Mr. Treppiedi)
• Your awesome, tear-inducing farewell (which we haven't decided on yet)

In the meantime.... omigosh panic panic panic SENIORS, YOUR PORTFOLIO IS DUE ON WEDNESDAY!!!!  Like, a completed Quick Time (.mov) file with all the requirements (see the column at right for more info), saved on the external Hard Drive!!!

Really, you've had lots of time to put this thing together, and should be just about ready to export a Quick Time file to your desktop (which will take about 30 minutes).

Also, Seniors will review for the Final Exam on Wednesday.  The final itself is on Friday.  Hooooray!

Underclassmen will be filming their introductions for their portfolio on Wednesday, and putting all of their work together on an iMovie project.

APS Summer School Info

Signing Off.....

Wednesday, May 8th will be our final broadcast of the semester.

Hard to believe I'm writing this, that we have come so far as a team.  But time waits for no one, and we will sign off on the only functional "B" Day next week.  Thereafter, it's Senior Finals, with only 2 class periods after that for my underclassmen.

So. How does the first KJCN Crew say goodbye?
