Another update....good news!




Hi everyone!

I have two bits of information that you need to know.

First of all, for my level III and IV students, the Georgia Department of Education has suspended requirements for the End of Pathway Exam.  There is no way to give the test so you won't be taking the test this year.

Second, and this is for all  my students:  Adobe has agreed to make available the Adobe Creative Cloud suite for all teachers and students while they are home.  Yay!  As long as you have a phone or computer, you can edit. 

For my beginning students, since I have not taught you how to edit, Premiere Pro may be too complicated, but please try.  I can send you information on how to set up your computer and import/export video.

In order to access the Creative Cloud apps, go to this site:  https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/edu-install-CCapps-covid19.html

Note from IT professional:  It is important to emphasize that the students and teachers use their district Office 365 account when logging into the Adobe website at Steps 1 & 2.  

Here is a tutorial on how to log in.  The video is specific to Adobe Rush, but I assume that you can also log on to Premiere Pro.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYEB07X9xUI&feature=youtu.be

Have fun!

Stay tuned in to my blog and turn in your videos to me by Sunday.  (Still trying to figure out how to get my video to upload for you)  I will be giving you your next assignment on Monday.

Here is a message from Mrs. Stewart and another one from me.  Please read both all the way through. From Mrs. Stewart to Parents and Students: Students and Parents, This notification is to inform you of the latest information released by the county regarding your child’s grade.  As noted from the district communication, students have a choice to accept their grades as of March 13, 2020 as final grades for the 2019-2020 school year OR Continue to earn grades for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year to improve their grade(s).  We want to clarify that if a student chooses not to participate, perform or actively engage with his/her teacher(s) and they do not take advantage of assignment opportunities, this will result in their final grade being the grade that they had on March 13 th .  The only way for the March 13 th grade to improve is for the student to submit assignments and participate in the digital learning opportunities made available to him/h...

While it's not appropriate to put music over a news package, some video formats call for it. Montages, movies, etc. are some such formats. Since it is so important to understand and respect Copyright Law, I thought I'd post the following article from the Journalism Education Association which includes links to royalty-free music. Don't forget the audio library that we already have: www.Soundzabound.com Enjoy! Royalty-free music and audio for video production Below is a list of sources for royalty-free music and other audio tracks for video production. Although using music in news stories isn’t always a good idea, there are many times when we need music to enhance a video or broadcast journalism project. Intros for newscasts, sports highlights, tributes and slide shows can all benefit from an appropriate soundtrack. For more info on how to use music legally and ethically, check out this story about copyright and fair use, and take advantage of legal advic...
