Monday May 14th the Generation YES Olympia staff had the opportunity to meet a long time GenYES school, Rose Hill JHS located in Redmond, WA. The day was filled with topics on Web 2.0, Generation YES business structure and student voice. Students had the opportunity to take pictures, videotape and learn about web design from our web master Kevin Dibble.
After a demonstration on VideoCue Pro for Podcasting, the students, teachers and myself went to Red Robin for lunch and conversation. The rest of afternoon was spent at Capital High School, another long time Generation YES school. Scott LeDuc, creator of GenTECH, paired Rose Hill JHS students with his high school GenTECH students. Students were asked to blog on the GenTECH Blog Roll about “ How can students use Web 2.0 tools such as Podcasting, Blogging, YouTube, ect. in an education environment?” The students then had a discussion on the topic and shared projects both schools were working on in GenYES and GenTECH programs.
The day was great and I had so much fun with this school, Thanks Rose Hill JHS!
