What a pleasure it was to visit the Communications Technology class of Paul Leuverink at Tillsonburg Glendale high school today.  We were invited to deliver a message about the Radio Broadcasting and Broadcast Journalism programs.  As a bonus we were asked to stay for the 9:30 morning news on GTV.


The students are so comfortable with a very high level of technology.  Even 3-4 years ago, I would teach some students who would 'peck' away at audio/video editing systems almost apologetically.  Not these students.  They weren't shy about diving right into their work. Clearly they have been well trained.

Several in the class asked great questions after our presentation.  They were focused, polite and calm.  Two students did a great job reading the morning announcements.  The short example here (above) features green screen technology and a customized graphics package.  The show was thrown together in about 20 minutes and went to air flawlessly.  Very impressive.
Hope to see some of you at Fanshawe College someday.  Thank you for having us into your class.
