=I teach journalism and Oklahoma History and advise the newspaper and yearbook staffs at PCNorth. I'm so excited to share what I learned during AIT with my students. I've set many goals for our publications - we will set the standard for high school publications in Oklahoma. =

I used Keynote to create 2 presentations for Oklahoma Scholastic Media's Fall Media Monday. I've shared one below.

I used Comic Life to create a cool profile for William H. Murray, a key figure in Oklahoma History.




=== My classes are looking forward to using iMovie to create multimedia projects that will be posted on our news website. My goal is to create a bi-weekly news program that will be broadcast to all students. Here's a test project I created using video of my dog, Bently. By creating this project, I learned that video shot by an iPhone is best done by turning the phone horizontally. === === media type="custom" key="11357202" align="center" ===

=== The newspaper and yearbook staffs are already using QR Codes in their publications. We are looking to expand our use of these codes. The yearbook staff, for example, will put QR codes on t-shirts. These will direct people to the order website. ===

=== The day after I learned about Wordle, I tried it in my classroom. I assigned students a passage to read in their text and had them create a word cloud using 15 key words. A quick glance of the words they chose told me if they understood the main idea of the text. They loved this assignment. I'll definitely do this again. ===



=== Newspaper students evaluate their work after each publication. By putting the evaluation in a Google Docs Form, I am saving paper and making these evaluations easier to review and manage.media type="custom" key="11357136" ===
