N235/237: 20th Century Dinosaurs Preparing 21st Century “Techno-Beings” (2 Yr/Sm Col)
Faculty members who were educated before the 1990’s learned a “professorial” style of teaching. That old style does not address the needs of contemporary students and it is out of step with contemporary trends and strategies. Faculty members at two year and small colleges are greatly impacted because our faculties are often small, stable, and financially challenged. This interactive workshop will use the case study method of instruction, which is one of the methods being touted as effective and efficient for contemporary students. In small groups, participants will review a case and provide ACTION plans. The respondents would be students from our institutions. The Moderator/Facilitator will provide transitions, hand outs, and reference citations to enhance the learning experience for participants

This panel will offer participants a variety of viewpoints on how to teach the basic broadcast journalism course. Whether it's writing only; predominantly production; radio or television specific, or combines all of these elements; the presenters will compare and contrast their unique approaches to this critical class and will invite audience participation to add to the discussion.

This collection of male and female producers begins present day and works back to the beginnings of television news. Although each profile illuminates an intriguing historical period or program, these presentations also provoke questions about common approaches to broadcast history, including over-concentration on the familiar and successful, and whether we overlook certain groups of people or alternatives to popular theories

As the “Next Generation” of Writing, Performance, and Production classes “morph” into interactive teacher – student experiences, problems arise. How do teachers present students’ scripts, performances, and productions into a positive learning experience, if the works’ content or style is occasionally immature, inappropriate, or offensive? Yet if we “shape” students’ work to meet personal, departmental, school, or local standards, then how can students exercise true imagination and creativity? Our panel offers guidance on this “touchy topic.”

N239/241: How to Teach Lighting for ENG and EFP (2 Yr/Sm Col)
This Lighting for TV Workshop has two primary purposes. First, the broadcast industry is making more use of “one-man band” operations, forcing reporters with little or no production savvy to shoot and light for themselves. Journalism professors wishing to provide instruction in video production will come away with concrete techniques to create effective lighting. Secondly, for instructors who teach production, lighting can be a challenge. Most students have a difficult time developing their sensitivity to the nuances of lighting. The workshop will demonstrate how to help students develop an eye for lighting. Additionally, the workshop will share useful tips on how to make the most of limited equipment.
