Presentation Link

Leanne Harple has created a high school class called Wildcat Waeup. which uses WeVideo to turn students into a team of journalists covering important events around the school and interviewing their fellow students, as well as faculty members, to seek out their opinions and give them more voice throughout the school. Wildcat Wakeup has engaged students of all levels and abilities, and brings the school together as they watch each new episode at the beginning of the week. It has helped students to gain invaluable experience in technology, journalism, and public speaking, as well as opportunities to practice many transferable skills, such as goal setting, project planning, meeting deadlines, and overall confidence.
