Robert Doherty

Doherty’s innovative teaching idea, “Video News Production – ALTV,” is focused on offering a video news class for students at the Armand Larive Middle School. Students involved in the program will have an opportunity to prepare news stories, write scripts, and shoot interviews. The objective of the program is to provide students with the technological skills needed for video production in the 21st century, as well as focus on their writing and speaking skills. Through the use of sophisticated video editing software, students will learn how to edit video interviews, clips, and overlay voice-overs and compile those elements into a compelling story – just as it is done in a professional newsroom. In a class of 30 students, several computers with video editing software will provide opportunities for all students to participate in producing and finalizing their own news projects for Armand Larive Middle School’s TV program.
