events scheduled where we will Play it Forward, one at a local church for a local fuel assistance program and one at a local hotel for cancer research.
Finale As we are approaching the end of this class, students are working on creating a soundtrack for a
poem or children’s story utilizing Apple computers’ Garageband and Keynote programs. We will give a CD collection of each project to each of our elementary schools in hopes that it will help to enhance literacy with our young readers. This is a “project-centered learning” curriculum where students acquire the skills in pro- ducing a tangible product and learn the process for making it a reality. Students do the majority of the work in these projects while the instructor acts as a facilitator. A major added bonus for our course is that a local broadcasting school, New England School of
Communications (NESCOM) in Bangor, ME, has recently donated ten ProTools units to our program. This will allow more for hands-on learning and for more students to be involved in our program in the future, en- hanced by the opening in fall 2012 of our new Hampden Academy with a 900 seat performing arts center!
