MediaCommittee

Join the PTA’s Media and Technology Committee

Newly formed, the Media and Technology Committee reflects it’s title.

This new committee is committed to making Claremont Middle School a center of technology and media learning in the Oakland Unified School District. Our mission is to develop programs, curriculum, facilities, and opportunities for the students of Claremont centered around media and technology.

Our first big project is complete! Over the summer the multipurpose room was transformed into a new Media Lab--with 15 new iMac computers! The committee also did a complete face-lift of the old computer room, which will now be used as a classroom. Click here to read more.

The new Media Lab can be separated into two areas by a motorized divider. On one side is a traditional computer learning space where the computer math classes, testing, and new Animation and Film making classes will be held. On the other side is a great new space where students can work on their media projects.

Here are some of the programs we hope to establish in the Media Lab:

Animation Class using Maya software - (already going on)

Film Making using iMovie, Final Cut Pro and other software (after school in 2008)

Music and Sound Creation and Mixing using Garage Band and other software

Digital Photography using iPhoto, Aperture and Photoshop

Presentations and spreadsheets

Web site creation

This can only be done with the help and support of Claremont Students and PARENTS!
