Welcome to my classroom/editing bay... just in case you were wondering what I’m staring at all day. 👨🏽‍💻 (Not pictured: Sony wireless headphones and a MacBook Pro in a Henge Dock)

Teaching Digital Media Production via Zoom. Am I doing it right?

Just spent six hours creating a “basic” Final Cut Pro editing guide for my Broadcast Journalism classes. What did you do with your weekend? 🤨 Many thanks to PBS News Student Reporting Labs for the inspiration.

Started the day at 6:30 AM. Three Zoom classes, one Zoom meeting, 40 updated Macs, and almost 15 hours later, I’m almost finished with the day. Nothing much. Just making distance learning work.

Added a boom arm and a shock mount to my kit. No more keyboard thumping over Zoom.

Doing Halloween in a Zoom classroom feels just like when I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. @HamillHimself

This has already made 2021 much better! Congratulations to @yeonseo_seok !

Spent yesterday afternoon speaking with a Sony rep and playing with some cameras. It got the rusty wheels in my brain turning about the addition of DMP to the schedule.

Arrived in Denver. Ready to get to work with PBS News Student Reporting Labs tomorrow. #SRLTeach22

A quick glimpse of this week’s beautiful office/studio. #SRLTeach22

Learning more about podcasting with the PBS News Student Reporting Labs crew. Guess what we’ll be doing this year, Wolverines?! #SRLTeach22

Learning a little After Effects. #SRLTeach22

The most valuable professional development I have ever done. It was great to spend a week with a group of talented media professionals and educators. I’d definitely do it again.

Year 26… here we go.

Amazing!

I’d like to thank the Chili Peppers for getting me through the last couple of days of prepping for the year. 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶

Sometimes the copy room is an archeological site. Who is still using an overhead projector?

Third straight school day with a broken HVAC system. 82°… before adding students and computer heat. Not the ideal conditions for learning.

CNN… hitting that journalistic sweet spot again. 🙄
