NCW makes the news! • NCW PSA is shown • I am asked to do NCW interview for the local news • My husband tapes and sends to all our relatives (!) • I show the interview to my class
Multiple choice: My students pay special attention because: • 1. I have an advanced degree • 2. I have years of teaching experience • 3. I will be grading them • 4. I am on a TV show
Yes! As soon as the TV interview appeared, their eyes became fixed on the screen!
Chemistry comes to NewTV • Bassam’s experiments, part of our NCW Local Section program, are shown regularly, even after NCW • My students are invited to give their own experiment show
Instantexpert • Filming goes late • Cameraman leaves • Science student gains a new skill
Then came the editing! • Sound themes • Titles • Running titles • Cutting and pasting • Slow motion!
