We have a great show lined up for this week, but can't do it without your participation! This week our show will be dedicated to our Seniors, but it is also Teacher Appreciation Week, and this Sunday is Mother's Day.  All of these subjects will be incorporated into the show, with your help of course!

All you have to do is look at the assignments posted for Monday through Wednesday of this week.  Record up to 30 second videos talking about the various subjects I have added as assignments on the calendar.  If you are not a Senior, do not record a message for the Senior Memories video, only submit to the other video assignments for this week.  

Yes.  If you submit a video, it is for a grade, and can help you boost your grade, so get to it!

Join us on Monday and Wednesday's Show Zoom Meetings to discuss the show... Look for link to Zoom in Schoology.

Please log in to Schoology to view this week's assignments and information about our Monday meeting for this week's show.

04/13 - 04/16

Welcome back students!  Hope everyone had a relaxing Spring Break, and that you are ready to finish the school year strong!

The District has mandated digital learning will take place Monday - Thursday.  While you are being given the option to accept your grade as of March 13th (we are waiting for more details on how this will be handled as students will likely have to sign off on this request), I encourage you to continue on through the entirety of the semester.  By completing assignments through digital learning, you can only improve your grade, and as a result boost your GPA!

Our goal for our Video Production classes over the next few weeks is to continue producing content for Brooksquad TV's At Home Edition, giving our students and staff a way to connect to their Pebblebrook community even though we are apart.

In the few weeks of digital learning before Spring Break, I noticed issues with Schoology between the hours of 10 a.m. -1:00 p.m. That is why I am now also posting assignments and information in Office 365's Teams Application.  That will allow you the student to access assignment information when Schoology is down.  All you have to do is log in to your Student Vue and look for the tab that says "Account Login Information" to verify what your Office 365 email address is, then login to Office 365 and look for the Teams App.  If you are in AVTF II, you will find a Team for that class, and if you are in the class that combines AVTF III and Broadcast Video Applications, you will find another Team for that class.  You can also text me through the Teams Application.

Class assignments and information will be posted in both Teams and Schoology, so that if Schoology is down, you can still access the information in Teams.  I will also be posting url information for our virtual class meetings through both applications, so you don't miss any of our creative team meetings.  Login to Teams or Schoology to view this week's assignments and creative meeting code for Monday!  Our next creative meeting is Monday 4/13 at 11:30 a.m.

At a time when everyone is separated, people are looking for ways to still connect with the people they know.  They are also trying to find ways to keep some type of normal in their life.  The Friday show we aired last week had the most views we have ever had over a 3 day period.  That is because our Pebblebrook School Community is also craving that connection to a sense of normalcy and we are going to give them what they want.   Students will also be working on Video Project 5. Watch Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show At Home Edition for Inspiration:
