Monday, August 16 - Wednesday, August 18, 2010
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Urban School
Cost $210 (financial aid is available)

This three-day workshop is reserved for incoming 9th grade students with little to no experience with computer digital media. Students will learn to plan, design, shoot and edit a digital movie of their own. The workshop provides the basic knowledge and experience necessary for comfortable and confident use of the digital media applications provided on every Urban student’s laptop including Photoshop, iPhoto, iMovie and others. All necessary equipment is provided.

The workshop will include daily trips to Haight Ashbury area locations to collect sounds, images and creative inspiration.

Note: Students attending the Summer Digital Media Workshop will receive their laptops at that time. All other students will receive their laptops during the scheduled freshman orientation, Thursday and Friday, August 26-27, 2010.

Standards for Proper Care

Come see us! Mercedes, Igor and Howard are available to help students throughout the day, but we encourage drop-in visits to the Tech Office during lunch.

Mercedes should be the first point of contact when students think there is a problem with their laptop.

The Tech Support website continues to expand with multiple directions and tips for student users. Much of the material posted is in response to student or faculty questions.

Tech Support email is the destination to field questions and to report technical problems. Several knowledgeable students read and respond to questions, as well as Mercedes, Igor and Howard. Parents are also encouraged to send inquiries but please confine your requests to issues related to our Laptop Program.
