Jonathan Stoner

"Greening Our Classrooms" is a documentary series developed by Stoner to highlight environment-friendly practices in Portland and demonstrate how schools could take advantage of the procedures. Students in Stoner's News and Documentary course at Beaverton High School will divide into teams of three to report about green projects funded by federal stimulus money. Each team will be responsible for writing a script, filming, and editing a six-minute segment. "Greening Our Classroom" is an opportunity for students to apply their science knowledge with communication abilities and broadcast experience to tell an informative story about protecting the environment. Segments will be combined to create a 20-minute documentary to enter in local and national competitions. The series will be available online and broadcast on local cable television. Stoner resides in Tigard.
