What we did...At South Warren, I am part of a group called STLP, which stands for Student Technology Leadership Program. Last fall, our STLP group took a trip to Western Kentucky University to attend the Fall Showcase. This is where student create a project that would be judged. All four of our showcases advanced to the state competition at Rupp Arena!!!
When we got the news, we kept working on our projects to improve them. There were also live and digital competitions at such as presenter service, heritage council, PSA, and feature videos. Our STLP group also runs a news show at our school. We break up into small group and work on pieces that involve what is going on at our school like sporting events, recognitions, and school events. This really picked up after the Fall Showcase. We even had a "split" between our STLP group to see which team could produce the best show. Click HERE to view them. Mr. Priddy, our Technology teacher, mainly uses the 7th period class for the news, but the 1st period class contributes too. 7th period News Crew |
At state, we took all 33 of our projects and hoped for the best. At the end of the day, our STLP group took home 21 awards for 1st or 2nd place. They are...
