Light, Action, Camera...







Recently, Caleb – The Science Club at Granny’s House went to the Missouri School Board Association’s Media Center where they learned the ins and outs of making an effective video presentation from Blake Godwin (Senior Director of Video Productions) and Brent Ghan (Chief Communications Officer).

These eager students learned and practiced everything from the art looking natural while reading from a teleprompter to the effective use of hand gestures and pauses while speaking publically.

Take one, take two… and a few kids were brave enough to continue improving… take three!
