Highlight of my year! I had been waiting for Titan Time to start to implement a news show done by the students for the students. I was approached by a few students who wanted to get it started as soon as possible. They came with ideas and friends and together it has become a reality. We're hoping to get more consistent and encompassing when Titan Time starts.

Update: The Titan News Crew shows up and shows out! Each week during Titan Time, they write scripts, translate scripts, record, edit, interview and produce a Monday and Thursday show. It's a lot of work, but so rewarding. Next year, I hope to have more consistent scheduling, a rotating crew to give more students an opportunity to participate and better equipment.

I will have 10 sessions per week during Titan Time. 5 of them will be for the Titan News Crew. This will enable us to work on scripts, translations, special reports and better graphics. My other sessions will be a variety of opportunities including working on digital portfolios, digital breakouts, green screen time, and more.

In an effort to streamline communication, I created Titan TakeAways after meeting with administration over the summer. I continue to maintain and refine this canvas course. The purpose is twofold: first, it allows our teachers to have the experience of using canvas as a student; secondly, it is a place to store all information that South Garner teachers may need. The is also a great opportunity for administration to "assign" tasks that need to be completed. examples include surveys, watching required videos and filling out forms.

Part of my job is to fulfill the tech contact duties. One of those duties is to monitor help desk tickets, resolving them if possible or providing more details and forwarding to tech services if not. As tech contact, I attend meetings twice a month where we discuss everything from moving from GOogle Classroom to Canvas to day-use only student devices.

In September, I attended a WCPSS PD on WakeLearns. I thien entered sessions that will be offered at SGHS this year. As sessions were offered, I tracked attendance of staff throughout the year.In may, I will work with my team to close out all of our PD sessions and launch the surveys necessary for to earn CEUs.
