DATA Digital Storytelling, Autumn 2010

The Digital Arts Technology Academy Digital Storytelling Class, under the direction of Matt Hamilton and media mentor David Vogel, will be producing two half hour news shows this spring to be aired on KPSP Local2 television. In addition, senior digital storytelling students will participate in a full day job shadowing experience with KPSP personnel later this year.

Hamilton, Vogel, and PSUSD Instructional Technology Specialist Lee Grafton have been invited to conduct a two-hour digital storytelling seminar at the California Partnership Academy Conference at the Sacramento Convention Center  in March.

In July, with DATA student Spencer McQuinn manning the camera, Richard Byford of Byway Entertainment interviewed Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet in late July about his views about a greener economy. Pougnet is challenging U.S. Rep. Mary Bono Mack for her seat in Congress.

Also in July, Hamilton and Vogel met with the city of Cathedral City Marketing Committee and this year will be producing eight video pieces about people who make a difference in Cathedral City, which will be posted on the Cathedral City web site and broadcast on Time Warner Cable.

DATA senior students will also be guests of KNews radio host Lee Rayburn to talk about issues affecting teens and schools.

DATA journalism students will also be producing a 30-second television spot for United Cerebral Palsy that will air on KPSP Local 2 in mid-September.
