What is the current purpose of your website?

What do you want your website to do for your students and you?

 

(Feed back appreciated, it will help to build and plan for future Web Wednesday 2.0 sessions)

 

I've shared a one note with everyone

Hixson Media Center

The computer lab has been redesigned with Multi Media Productions in mind. Every year for the past 4 years media production has increased in classrooms and in our after school activities.  With the influx of computer availability in the building this year, the Tech Department, building LMT, and Dr. Heisserer took a look at the lab and discussed the possibilities of converting the space to meet the needs of our student body. The space has been designed to offer students a place to create, edit, and produce media rich productions in one place. The Media Center offers a floor to ceiling permanent green screen for filming, 7 editing computers, a sound booth for audio recordings, a permanent scan station, conference table and white board for story boarding, projector and screen for viewing, and seating for up to 30 students for presenting.

 

This project is currently in phase one. If the Media Center is used often and the need to expand becomes a necessity we have plans in place for improvements. This center has the potential to expand the life of all of the equipment in the building as the weight of media production can fall on it rather that the laptops in your rooms. Your classrooms and the library will still be the primary places for student research, but once students are ready to produce a media rich project the Media Center will be accessible.

 

To use the lab, this year, I ask that you send a technology request in stating the date your students will need the space, how many students you will be sending, and the project the students will be working on while in the center. This will ensure that we have the space ready for your students and document the frequency the center is used, as well as give us data on what sort of future updates/upgrades would be helpful to the student body.

 

The Media center has been used a few times with great success this year and I look forward to its continued use and growth.

Web Wednesday 2.0 differs from the original Web Wednesday as I will be asking you to schedule your time with me. I will make myself available during all plan periods on the 1^st and 3^rd Wednesdays of every month to assist individuals or teams in the development of their sites. The methods in which I will be taking all requests are as follows: (All based on first come first serve basis)

 

Tech Request

Email Request

Verbal Request

 

 

If you would like to work on your site, team site, or anything in between, this will be a time to get assistance with it. As per usual, if you ever want to work on your website any other time and would need assistance, please submit a tech request.
