The two students interviewed him, and it went really well. D. did a GREAT job of talking to him and expanding questions when he needed to. Afterwards, Peggy Ekster came in to participate in a Q and A session with Dr. Cain. My students were AWESOME! They asked some great questions. I was so proud of them, and it was really nice to see Dr. Cain interact with the students. It just seemed like it was the bright point of his day.

They were so excited and invigorated by the whole experience that they want to interview Dr. Collins, a previous superintendent who is well known and loved in the district. I can hardly keep up with all of the projects they want to accomplish!

It was much, much shorter than I had anticipated (again, from lack of effort rather than lack of content), and so the students working on the podcast decided to condense it from a series to just one episode. Sigh.

I took three students who really had an interest in the class to work on it while the rest of the class worked on a script that I borrowed from the Apple conference so they could get practice working with the programs. They did most of the editing on it, and I have to say they did a pretty excellent job.

It was finished yesterday and I sent it over to the superintendent since we interviewed him for the project. I also stopped by Ann McMullan’s office who just happens to be the Executive Director of Educational Technology for the district. Even with the mistakes, she was impressed with what we did. We have finals next week, so I’m struggling with grades right now, but as soon as I get a chance, I’ll upload the file here.

I also need to get with the program and create a final exam podcast. This time, I’ll break them down into episodes. Wish me luck!
