Great news about the Gallaudet "Yes I Can" contest.  Five, count them 5, of our students won awards!!!!

One Writer's Choice award (Denetrice), One Honorable Mention Art award (Uy), and Three! for the ASL competition! Our students took Honorable Mention (Zerek), Third Place (Shayne), and FIRST PLACE (Abbey)!!  That's right, first place, baby!  Okay, I must admit that she had some wonerful tech help with the project but her story was awesome on it's own.  Way to go, Abbey!!!  I hope to have them up here soon but they will also be posted on the Gallaudet web site, so please chech them out there.

Media updates

I'm still working on the book weeks skits: editing them down to a managable size, so that each student can have one.  The Frankenstein movie is finished! Yea!  Hopefully, we'll be able to get this media out to students by May!

Also, Happy Birthday to Decklan and Quintin - they turn two today!

Book Week and Dr. Seuss Madness!

Wow!  What a fun and crazy week of reading and skits, hot chocolate and muffins!  We were very busy in the Media Matrix but, hopefully, now things will quiet down a bit.  I'll post some of the book week footage as soon as I get it edited.  The Frankenstein movie will be coming out soon too!

Here is the latest PND.  Enjoy!

PND Feb 8 2008

Kudos to Cameron for getting this out on time (among the flurry of Gallaudet entries) and for the cool basketball graphics that we found.  I guess you do learn something new each day!

Gally ASL contest

Cameron and I having been working like dogs helping the ASL students with their video entries for the "Yes, I Can" contest for Gallaudet.  Whew!  They were personnally brought to the post office by me today! The students did a great job preparing for it with the help of their awesome teacher, Bobby Davis.  Good luck everyone!  When we get word of the winners, we'll post the entries here.  Keep checking back.

Oh, here's another picture of the "studio" with the blue screen up - we shot PND again today.  Boy, it will be so nice to have a whole wall of green to work with.  The blue screen looks so small in here now, don't you think?

Here's the panther getting ready for PND.
