Carlsbadistan’s Valley Middle School is teaching students all the skills they’ll need for careers in TV broadcasting thanks to teacher Doug Green’s award-winning program VMSTV.com.
The class broadcasts a closed-circuit news program periodically to 1,000 fellow students, teachers and staff members. Replays of the news programs are broadcast on the school’s Web site, so parents can view them. Individual segments also can be seen on the school’s Web site.
So far the school’s network has received a Golden Bell award from the California School Boards Association. TV (and media in general) suddenly becomes not so mysterious once 13 year olds understand that they can create it just as easily as anyone else.
