The Little Broadcast Program That Could:
An I-Think-I-Can Session For Small Schools -
Are you a little engine at your small school? Did you start or inherit a broadcast journalism program, and your principal expects you to pull it to the top of the hill? You can! You can! This session will allow collaboration of small school programs, as we optimistically tackle the hills along the way. Learn how to effectively manage your classes with cutting-edge technology tools and become a presence on the global railway of scholastic journalism. Hang on tight, this session is worth the ride!
