Description of the
Class
RadioSAMOHI will be SAMOHI's Internet and FM broadcast radiostation
for years to come. Throughout the day there will be scheduled
educational, cultural, and entertainment broadcasts on campus
via the FM station, while the Internet will serve as a permanent
archive of students' recordings. The purpose of the project
is to provide musical, verbal, journalistic and creative opportunities
for all students to actively participate with technology in
ways that display those talents in which they excel, while
sharing their unique perspectives and expressions with a real
audience.
We are in an era in public education where projects not tied
to state testing face funding challenges. The goal of RadioSAMOHI
is to embrace all students, all viewpoints and all forms of
expression, in an effort to help create understanding between
different people through honest communication; something that
is not tested on paper but in real life, every day.
RadioSAMOHI is an educational program that will provide opportunities
for all students to be involved in the process of recording,
editing, mixing and broadcasting their forms of expression.
Our work so far has shown promise and displays the hard work
of SAMOHI's students. All students at SAMOHI will be impacted
by this project, for all are encouraged to participate in
a variety of ways. This will be possible because RadioSAMOHI
transcends subject areas; it encompasses all of them. Through
the years, one goal is have every student contribute to the
project.

However, our main goal is to encompass and embrace all
students, all viewpoints and all forms of expression. Working
directly with the Associated Student Body, our main objective
is to help create understanding between different people through
honest communication. This project allows our student body
to communicate with each other and with the world what matters
most to them. On the SAMOHI campus we have many budding musicians,
poets, philosophers, journalists, artists, rappers, DJs, singers
and songwriters; this project will serve as a venue for all
students to be involved in the creative and educational process
of perfecting and delivering their forms of expression. Currently,
there are many students who have expressed an interest in
this project and this field of work. We have created a club
to help organize and design all aspects of the project.
RadioSAMOHI is an ongoing project where recording will take
place during lunchtimes (especially during our club's lunch
meeting), as well as before and after school so we can accommodate
students' schedules. Eventually, as the project grows, we
will begin to invite classes to come and record student work
that is driven by a specific class's current subject of study.
We are also interested in having live broadcasts of school
events so we can include other classes that perhaps aren't
able to attend. For instance, recently there was a jazz concert
in the Humanities Center, which can only seat a small portion
of the student body. With a live FM broadcast of the concert,
all students can participate in such a unique cultural event.
The advisor of RadioSAMOHI will ensure the proper usage of
all equipment, as well as oversee that all broadcasts both
on the FM station and the Internet archive are appropriate
and demonstrate a positive image of our school.
Through the Internet, the entire world will receive information
about our project. As for our local campus FM broadcast, all
those who are interested in visiting our facilities and listening
to a broadcast are welcome. We will also contact local media
to help generate community interest. |
