Today I had AIG parent conferences at ECHS. I appreciate the turnout and the enthusiasm of all who attended. During our meeting several topics came up that I said I would elaborate on later. Well I thought about doing this using a screencast video. So below I have the answers to most of your questions and concerns. Below the video you'll find hyperlinks to the sites that I mention in the screencast.

Student Assignment for Wednesday:
Look at the videos on the website above. Listen to the narration closely. This may help you in writing our script. The theme is "What's Super about Public Schools." If we can get the script completed on Wednesday so that an English teacher can read it for possible corrections we would begin to work out a story board and start to film next week. Think about what kind of music you want in the background. And who has a nice voice that would be willing to narrate it for us? Remember the video has to be from 30 - 45 seconds which is not long at all. This can be done but I can't do it by myself since it is to be a student video. Hope to see you on Wednesday morning in the computer lab adjacent to the library between 7:30 and 8:00. We have ten new AIG laptops that we can use also. Please come with a script or partial script written down on paper. See you Wednesday.
Mr. Hewett
