*Showcase news for Open House and PTA events

Start with basic hardware - cheap - then upgrade. Brochure has list of hardware and benefits. Use shower curtains for backdrops....especially if you are doing "Psycho"! This makes the "sets" easily changed. We could sell our broadcasts - $10.00 - if this gets popular we will need to purchase a multi DVD copier. Profits go back into the broadcasting project.
At the presenter's school, they select a class of the week to produce content, establish topic, encourage school-wide sharing of classroom activities and let students brainstorm ideas. 1-800-free411 free information. Friday announcements are a bit more fun....guest speakers, special projects, presentations, culminating units, book talks, science experiments.
