And the Winner Is…
Garden Springs’ STLP students serve our school community
by serving as the technical crew for teachers and students
who need help on digital entries into our Annual Garden
Springs Film Festival. Each complex/curricular area is
responsible for entering a video into the Festival, which
culminates with a school wide OSCER (Outstanding
Students Collaborating for Educational Rewards) Awards
Ceremony in May. Often teachers have no idea how to
film, edit or burn their video productions—that’s where we
come in. We help in all these areas and beyond. Last year
our students, besides filming and editing several of our
OSCER entries, began working with green screen
technologies and this year have volunteered to assist our

animation software. Not only do our STLP students help
produce our school’s videos, they also help run the OSCER
Ceremony itself by greeting, running the spotlights and
sound as well as filming the event. As May quickly
approaches, our STLPers will become busier and busier
with requests to help get the entries ready for what we
hope will be the best Garden Springs Film Festival yet!

Henry Clay High School Cafeteria Table 24
Webcasting
Webcasting is the streaming of live audio and video over
the Internet. With the help of a Small Learning
Communities grant, the Student Technology Leadership
Program, and the help of ihigh.com, Henry Clay is now
webcasting home sporting events and academic events.
Using a laptop, mixing board, amplifier, video camera, and
headset microphones, we are able to encompass several
different learning experiences into each broadcast,
including (but not limited to): audio production and mixing,
live on-air broadcasting, videography, and sideline
reporting. With all of these new capabilities students are
able to gain valuable experience in the fields of
broadcasting, journalism, audio/visual production.
The reach of the webcasting extends beyond the
classroom, too. By broadcasting over the Internet we are
able to reach out not only to the immediate Henry Clay
community, offering them live sporting event coverage as
well as announcements and academic functions, but we can
also reach thousands of students, parents, relatives,
alumni, and friends worldwide connecting them back with
the Henry Clay family. With new technology we can make
all sorts of events – athletic, academic, and otherwise –
available to those associated with and interested in Henry
Clay all around the world.

One Student At a Time
Our STLP club has adopted a school from Africa. This
school has 400 students and is extremely poor. Our goal is
to video conference with the students in Africa throughout
this year. We will then sponsor a school blanket drive this
winter. Our goal will be to gather enough blankets to be
able to send each child in the school one blanket so that
they will have something to sleep on. Through this
experience, we hope to help all students realize that no
matter their circumstances, we can always reach out to
help others.
Lansdowne Elementary Cafeteria Table 30
WLAN News
Our school has had a news program for a while, but our
goal this year is to make it more student based. Previously,
staff members have videoed and edited the news for the
school. This year, students have worked to help write the
script, video, and edit the news themselves. We have also
incorporated more of the students in the school so that on
any given day, multiple classrooms and students are
featured showing off their knowledge of classroom work or
technology skills. Teachers and students are really enjoying
the changes that are underway.
Showcases
Leestown Middle School Cafeteria Table 31
Digital Art
Digital art has arrived. The digital drawing pad by Wacom,
and others, have revolutionized the manner in which young
artists express themselves. Student artists of all ages have
at the ready multiple textures, brushes, pencils, chalks, and
papers to create to the full extent of their current
capabilities. Make no mistake, there is a decent learning
curve, but the student of today can overcome these
obstacles and have success fairly quickly. The early results
at Leestown are quite encouraging. Our goal is to provide a
unique technological experience for all interested students
at Leestown and to prepare them for what they will en-
counter in high school and beyond.

WMAX - ¿Qué Pasa en Maxwell?
The purpose of WMAX - ¿Qué Pasa en Maxwell? is to
provide school wide curriculum enrichment that engages
students at every grade level as well as enrichment with
the Spanish language and culture that is an integral part of
our program. The students have differing opinions that
impact the course of a production, so they learn to be
creatively flexible while still producing a quality show that
provides them a chance to speak and write in Spanish. Our
students produce a daily news show that infuses Spanish
language output along with content information. The
morning news show has an impact on students'
self-confidence and media literacy. We share news of the
school along with Spanish language clips and science and
social studies content. It becomes part of a classroom's
morning routine to turn on the morning news, and teachers
and students have come to depend on it as an effective
way to distribute information and reminders to all teachers
and students on a daily basis that fosters a sense of
community.
