Final project

For my final project — which will include pictures, a sound-slideshow, a video package and, of course, a print story — I originally wanted to focus on what San Diego companies (such as the water and energy companies) are doing to reach out and educate local students on conservation and other important or unique-to-San Diego issues.

The San Diego Zoo has a recycling program, and the San Diego Water Dept. had an exhibit at the Natural History Museum this past weekend, so yesterday, I headed over to the two locations to take some pictures and video clips. My sister fixed her camera just in time, so it worked out.

I also heard about something that a number of San Diego County schools do for their students in middle school (though I need to find out if this also extends to elementary and high school students): Classrooms literally move to the zoo and Balboa Park for a full week. Students learn about issues relevant to these places in lieu of going to class on their normal school campuses.

So that's what my new project will be about. As soon as I get the pictures off my camera, I'll put some on here.
