TV P&C: Blue Devil Nation Reflection

Great job on the Wood-Ridge High School's First Ever Blue Devil Nation newscast! I'm very proud of everyone involved, but like anything in life there is always room for improvement.

All students must post a comment to this blog posting reflecting on what worked, what didn't work, and how we can make it better for November. I'm looking for ideas on how to schedule taping, editing, and more. An example would be is something I overheard about someone on camera having too many sheets of script. Everyone must post an idea, improvement, and you can always compliment someone on their excellent work too!

(Yes, Puga, it's for a grade)
