While I would normally reserve something involving "clients" for my Advance Media class, I feel confident enough in the abilities of my Exploratory Media class that we will be doing a multi-class recording of the Git Up Challenge. Each period will cover a different portion of the song and will venture out to 3 different classrooms that have agreed to participate in the Challenge. Each group will have 25 minutes to record multiple takes of the sub-40 second part of the song they've been assigned. They'll need to get moving shots and static shots and interesting angles to really sell the excitement of the Git Up Challenge. The footage will then be compiled and recut into our very own Ewa Makai version of the music video! Check out the tutorial and original music video to get an idea of what we will be doing come December 20th!

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
