In order to give all groups ample time to complete their video with the highest quality possible, I had to push back the due date almost a week over what I had originally intended. I know this isn't ideal (students won't know their final grade until mid-way through winter break), but it was the best way for students to complete their final project up to the standards that I had laid out and expected from my classes.
The following assignment is a make up assignment that can boost your PROJECT grade by up to 10% (depending on the quality of your answers and the ability to follow instructions). The make up assignment is due by December 23, 2015.

With the recent addition of some very cool equipment. The Media Club has been hard at work learning to use our new tools. My hope is that with the growing amount of skills with various video production tools that students will be able to take their advanced skills and help foster the Media Network talent group at James Campbell HS and Kapolei HS. It's an exciting time to be in video production, so much is changing in how videos can be professionally produced!

Our programs include an Exploratory program for students interested in learning more about video production and an Advanced program for students who would like to extend their learning into professional and real-world video production. About Mr. ToyotaWhen they say "professions run in the family," the saying holds true for my family and I. My mother, my aunty, and my grandmother were all teachers before me and I didn't ever think I'd be the one to take up the mantle. I've been teaching since 2008 and started at the age of 23 years old.
I'm a National Board Certified teacher with a Bachelor's in Secondary Education: Social Studies. Additionally, I have served in various roles ranging from an HSTA PD Trainer and Consultant, AVID Site Team Member, Club Advisory, Volleyball Coach, Event Organizer, and Chair for the CxK Media Cohort. Basic Teaching PhilosophyThere are constantly occurring learning opportunities. As a teacher, it is my duty to not only help students see these opportunities at face value, but to help them profit from these experiences.
I believe that learning is growing and that growing in the right direction is an important aspect of being successful. I can help the imperfect, I can hardly help those who are perfect. Although academics is an important part of a child's life, I understand that a child's life is even more important than school as an institution. Homework, tests, grades, and due dates pale in comparison to preparing a child for their future. I am but one person amongst a community of people that will come into a child's life, whether my role is small or large, my actions have lasting implications. I will always strive to make a difference, to help student's grow in the right direction, to develop their passions, and to prepare them for the struggles ahead. It is my duty, my honor, and my will as their teacher. - Ethan Toyota Archives
