Attending: Members:

Mike Archer, Walsworth Publishing; Justin Best, Daily Herald; Ralph Portillo, Glazer's Camera; Scott Shafer, Cascade High School; Rick Wigre, H.M. Jackson High School;

& Bill Trueit, H.M. Jackson High School

 

3:30     Introductions and program highlights for the year with students samples. Members saw various samples of student work including video clips from Scott Shafer, 3-D art from Rick Wigre, student photo samples from Rick Wigre and Bill Trueit. Rick Wigre rolled out an impressive list of student award winners from his graphic arts, photography, and TSA competitions that measured over a yard with entries in small type.

 

4:00     New trends in the professional world that teachers should be aware of (community committee members)

 

            Justin Best reported that continues to be a growing part of the newspaper business. Photo journalists at the Herald have been outfitted with new cameras that can take video. They now have the option to take still images and video to report news. The newspaper also has a team of two people who shoot and edit video for the paper for use on the Herald web site.

 

            Ralph Portillo added that new products are popular at Glazer’s that support video for DSLR cameras. Rail systems and lighting are examples of new products that are being introduced.

 

            Mike Archer reported that the trend continues for a quicker turn around of work from schools to print. More schools are using on-line resources from the publisher allowing later deadlines and quicker production of work turned in. In the 1980s it was typical that it would take 10 weeks to print materials sent from schools and, now, the turn around time is down to four weeks due to new technology.

 

5:00     District staff presented, explained, and reviewed the two-year plan for our pathway. The entire committee approved the plan as presented.

 

5:25     Meeting Adjourned
