Another Successful Semester

Fall's Semester was successfully completed by all the fun students of the Fourth Block Digital Media class. The final projects included a News Broadcast, a music video, a super sleuth "Scooby Doo" story, and a tale of romantic deceit and payback.

Thanks for the opportunity to be your teacher and I look forward to seeing some of you in the Multimedia class.

The Year Is Over

A wonderful Fall Semester was successfully completed by all the fine students in the First Block Digital Media class. The final projects covered such important topics as Teen Driving, Code Red security at Wheeler High School, Students with Jobs, New Computer Game Infomercial, and a fun "Rocky II" type video.

Great job!
