First Blog Post

Hello. I am Fin. I am in the tenth grade at Montgomery Blair High School, I am also in the Communications Arts Program. My favorite aspect of film making is the editing process. I am in no way a very good actor, though I have acted as a cinematographer before. I took three years of Media at Takoma Park Middle School, and also took TV Production last year here at Blair. I find editing to be a fun process, because it is all about taking the raw footage and compressing and refining it into a finished product that is refined and ready for dissemination. Movie making is a very fun process but is not necessarily my absolute favorite thing in the world, however, it isn't my least favorite thing. That position is currently held by Pre-Calculus.I really enjoy reading and am currently loving our 1984 unit as it is one of my, if not my favorite book of all time.

With regards to using the blogs for other classrooms I think that there are certainly various different ways that we could integrate work in other classes with our blogs. For example:

  • Designate one member of your Change Project Group to create a separate Change Project Group blog and have them post a weekly update on what the group has done in the past seven days, progress etc...Would be minutes of group meetings in a way, in case someone had been unable to attend.
  • Perhaps as a project for our 1984 unit we could write a few entries on our blogs from the perspective of Winston or Julia etc...
  • Post some of our editorials online on our blogs to show the world!
That's all. Post over.
