			Focus on school-media budgets. What is getting cut. Hundreds of thousands in technology and media centers. He thinks it should be zero-budgeted. You don’t need it; every kids comes to school already equipped – as long as they are allowed to bring a cell phone into school. “We’ve got to get over the hurdle of technology as a separate component of education.”

~~===Dare Brawley: Building a school community===~~

Dare: Initially a class. Then became a girl-only initiative in a progress, co-ed private school. It has five 8th graders and 15 9-12 graders. It restarted as a student publication. A lot of kids didn't know what it meant to have a "feminist" publication. Having a set of workshops, both student run and bringing in an outside speaker, Ingrid Dahl of Youth Media Reporter. It was originally curriculum based and has morphed into a student-run project.

~~<b>What have been the success moments when you branched out into community?</b>~~

As students leave the traditional role of being just "snotty" HS kids, it becomes less of an "us vs. them" and the community starts to think of HS as being something more meaningful than a "holdin pen for kids." These kids have something valuable to say -- how can we let more folks in on it?

~~<b>How do you make sure the kids are accountable outside?</b>~~

Ninth-grade partners with The Franklin Institute, which is very structured. Older kids go out on their own on structured programs. Each site reports in attendance through the tools they use -- Drupel and xxxxxx (missed name).

~~<b>Are their resistent students who don't want to do part of it?</b>~~

Yes. But there is complete and total flexiblity, so it is only for a student's lack of creativity that they don't find something. They work with kids to find their niche. She (Diane) is accountable for 20 students. There are systems and structures set up to facilitate. She tells the story of the student who was a paralegal for a law firm and ended up on a weekend helipcoptering from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., to be the official Spanish translator for a legal deposition. Yes, her parents knew about it and it was outside school hours!

~~Wayland is thinking of starting something similar on a very small scale. How do you do this? Do the kids come with the idea. How do you do it?~~

~~Diane: You enlist parents, you enlist everyone you can think of.~~

~~<b>Do you sell this as service learning to the community? If it is just based on attendance, are they really absorbing the work?</b>~~

Diane: If there is a problem with a placement they intervene. Ninety-five percent of the kids "do the right thing." Their's is a special-admit school so there is some exception. Her view: If you set up reasonable expectation for students, explain why you want it, and help them figure out how to get there, it will work she says. Too much time is spent worring about the 10% who will be a problem.

~~===What does PressPass.TV do?===~~

Joanna Marinova talks about PressPass.TV: Contracted to teach media literacy to media production. There is a community-connect program to partner with other community programs to produce a five-minute piece. Did a news piece about the problems with asthma, which is a No. 1 reason why kids don't go to school. They partnered with REAP. They helped them to produce video content. Third categorh is the lab program -- investigative and long-form pieces. They produce conceptual pieces, news content and advocacy pieces. They work on stories that are overlooked by the mainstream media. http://www.presspasstv.org/

~~<b>How do students get involved?</b>~~

~~"We really believe by any media necessary."~~

~~===Diana Laufenberg: Philadelphia voting coverage===~~

Talks about how Philadelphia doesn't go to school on election day. She had to be in professional development meetings all day. The students had the day free. This was just after the Phillies won the World Series, Biden was there for a rally at the constitution center, Obama had just been around campaigning.

Most the time students sit around on a day off. She had a whole room of 11th graders. "I said, hey, you guys are going to go out and collect a story on the street ... I just wanted them to get a story." A total of 120 kids took to the streets. They did it all digitally; they used YouTube, Flip cameras, whatever.

"The started rolling in at 6:45 a.m. in the morning and it just posted I had it tagged so it would all aggregate ... they found themselves meeting up and going to other polling places and just continuing to collect stories . . . it is like they were so invested . . . one kid said I would not have even realized what was going on and I cannot imagine not having been out there."

~~They are going to do it again this year -- it will be a very, very different scene.~~

~~"There wasn't one kid who couldn't overcome the tech barrier. If they wanted to, they could interview their mother over a telephone land line."~~

~~<b>What do you do for good audio?</b>~~

There is a balance between polished production vs. getting kids involved. "The point of the day had nothing to do with the tech, it had more to do with their being involve din their city. The goal wasn't the polished tech, it was the experience . . . there ''are'' projects we do where we are asking for polished stuff."

			===Dare Brawley: Building a school community===

			Dare: Initially a class. Then became a girl-only initiative in a progress, co-ed private school. It has five 8th graders and 15 9-12 graders. It restarted as a student publication. A lot of kids didn't know what it meant to have a "feminist" publication. Having a set of workshops, both student run and bringing in an outside speaker, Ingrid Dahl of Youth Media Reporter. It was originally curriculum based and has morphed into a student-run project.

			<b>What have been the success moments when you branched out into community?</b>

			As students leave the traditional role of being just "snotty" HS kids, it becomes less of an "us vs. them" and the community starts to think of HS as being something more meaningful than a "holdin pen for kids." These kids have something valuable to say -- how can we let more folks in on it?

			<b>How do you make sure the kids are accountable outside?</b>

			Ninth-grade partners with The Franklin Institute, which is very structured. Older kids go out on their own on structured programs. Each site reports in attendance through the tools they use -- Drupel and xxxxxx (missed name).

			<b>Are their resistent students who don't want to do part of it?</b>

			Yes. But there is complete and total flexiblity, so it is only for a student's lack of creativity that they don't find something. They work with kids to find their niche. She (Diane) is accountable for 20 students. There are systems and structures set up to facilitate. She tells the story of the student who was a paralegal for a law firm and ended up on a weekend helipcoptering from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., to be the official Spanish translator for a legal deposition. Yes, her parents knew about it and it was outside school hours!
