What’s your New Year’s Resolution? Have you even thought of one?  This is the time of year that the past year is reflected on and changes for the New Year are developed. I know a lot of my friends have vowed to lose weight, get healthy, and try something new in 2013. Trying something new, […]

     Hello again! These past few weeks have been quite packed!! I have been working with the students in Session III of the Backpack Journalism Academy. In the last week, they brought in their footage and began to edit their stories. I took pictures and videos of the students editing, put together a recap of […]

Today, well actually the last part of this week has been such a bittersweet time for me. I am so excited that our reporters are finished with their news stories, but I am sad at the same time. The last story was completed and that means the end of the 2012 Summer Backpack Journalism Academy. […]

I can’t believe that the day is pretty much over. Where did the day go? Oh, yeah, it flew by me and I didn’t even get a chance to see it go. WOW! Our reporters were busy today working on their stories.  Two of them even finished their stories!  I must say, this class of […]

The words of the popular Bangles’ song, “Manic Monday” popped in my head as I was driving to MCM this morning. Was this going to be the mood of my day? I hope not! And, thankfully it wasn’t.  Today was the day that our reporters learned how to edit on Final Cut Pro.  I know […]

It’s been such a treat to see high school kids at MCM this week.

MCM’s Mandi Wyndham has been blogging about […]

  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 […]

Our reporters finished their stories today! I’m so excited about them too! They did a fantastic job! While they were finishing up their stories, Lindsay was hard a work too. She put together a really nice video of the past two weeks.  I can’t believe that we only have one more session to go. Where […]
