Jr Tech After School Class


Today, jr techs worked on their project foundry portfolio pages. It is private web pages they design on Project Foundry that showcase their education accomplishments. They are required to make 2 pages. Their Home Page and their Jr Tech Program Page. I encourage them to be creative, appropriate, and to focus on their education information. So far, about half of them are taking it serious and working diligently on their web pages. The other half just want to learn the skill and leave class. Those students choose not to be creative. It's unfortunate because I am planning to have them share with other students so more of them can use the portolio part of Project Foundry.

Jr Techs also got trained on basic media equipment usage. They will need to use the still digital camera and the camcorder video camera throughout the school, especially during our upcoming camp in October. Therefore, I needed to train them on the equipment. Half of the class took Video Production classes before so they had the skills, the other half had to learn today.
