Our Ignite videography club has been so successful that we have extended it an additional 2 weeks. Students have learned how to splice, add music and make edits to come up with a delicious video (posted separately) that our extended Cooking Club students made for this collaboration project. This coincided with our WCMU career readiness field trip to learn and get the behind-the-scenes of different types of careers in the MultiMedia Field. Ty Klopf has been an additional and welcoming fresh breath of air with our students and they have really taken to him. It shows by how they show up and are willing and wanting to participate in the lessons he has planned.
