Session Two finished up today with all of our journalists completing their stories. I am so proud of these students. They all did a good job and told their stories well. I think you will like their final projects. Again, the bar has been set high, so I really can’t wait to see what next […]

The holiday weekend didn’t distract our journalists from getting their stories. They all came to class prepared to learn to edit. All of them had their Sony Bloggie in hand; ready to tackle today’s editing instruction. They learned the basics of Final Cut Pro 7 today. I think they really enjoyed practicing with the footage […]

  I absolutely love what I do! Not many people get to  say that, but I am one of the fortunate ones who can! My days are never dull here at MCM. Today our reporters were on the “HOT” streets working on their stories, but we took our gear to Camp Gan Izzy of North […]

I love day 2 of our Backpack Journalism class!  I have mentioned before that it is my favorite day of this class and today did not disappoint. In fact, I think it made me love it that much more. Our reporters are definitely on top of their game and I hope they had as much […]

This was such a whirlwind kind of day!  I can’t believe how fast it flew by.  It seems like one minute I was setting up for class this morning and the next we are at Camp Gan Izzy!  It was a full house this morning during our Backpack Journalism class. Today was the first class […]
