10-27

CRT Mtg.: LSC 10/27/10: "A" Day

Present: DK, CR, DG, RBS, TKC, LC, John Morgan of Video Production Dept.

1. DH Mtg.: possible for CRTs to share short 5-10 minute presentations
 * Moodle Showcase
 * VPD: education re: proper process, e.g. need training, sign-up in advance, generate signed liability forms.
 * How to plan a video project in class: iMovie '09 currently being taught in Jr. School, so transition won't be so much an issue then. Raising awareness of different options: iMovie, screen recordings, Keynote. DK worked w/ C. Cheever to post book trailer projects on the Punahou Wiki/Blog, which allows you to post comments.
 * DG: issues w/ Google Documents: Darcy Iams lost a document and not able to retrieve. LC suggested advanced search options to check.

2. Chai Reddy: CAPSEEDS Culminating Project: individual student videos archive work/research on service project. @http://www.sounddogs.com/ @http://www.jewelbeat.com/ http://www.partnersinrhyme. com/
 * Scaffolding project process: setting up time w/ VPD for tutorial re: equipment and video software; setting intermediary deadlines for footage, etc. to avoid procrastination.
 * Work w/ Luke Ctr. EIRs (Entrepreneurs in Residence) re: how to generate ideas for projects, coming up w/ plan.
 * Copyrighting issues: have become more of a focus in the last year. Chai's established links for FreePlay Music Sites. From Pai, go to Public, open FreePlay music//.//
 * // Music // -- must be original compositions, or royalty- free (we can provide the latter from the FreePLay Catalogue).
 * Some Free Play Music Sites**
 * //Images and video// -- must be original photos or footage, or permission must be obtained for use of copyrighted material (i.e. an email giving permission from the news director for footage grabbed from a newscast).
 * Students are allowed to share common footage, but research + videos are individual.

3. Misc. Video Project Concerns/Notes.
 * Need for site where teachers/students can obtain information as to where/how to obtain video resources, equipment: DG and John M. to work together.
 * Camera lending period: currently 3 days.
 * John Morgan: suggests storyboarding to help conceptualize project. Video, vs. paper, lends itself to public purpose. Would like to see video projects start in Gr. 9, to start infrastructure for video savviness.
 * Storyboarding process: keeping it simple + manageable: pencil/paper, free-hand-drawing. Maybe look into digital resources for it.
 * Maybe produce short one-page "So You Want to do a Video" listing for teachers.
 * Can use an external mike for use w/ the Kodak cameras.
 * 11/6: Capital Budget Deadline for SY 11-12. ePunahou: IT pricelist for items, e.g. Promethean board w/ integrated stand, mikes, etc. DK thinks Promethean better in re: software and training.
 * Library: still cameras for teacher borrowing. VPD: video cameras.
