Suzanne Sullins

Sullins’ innovative teaching idea, “Lights, Camera, Action!” is focused on creating a student broadcast station to provide students with the opportunity to use broadcast production techniques as a means to learn technological skills that they will need throughout their lives. Using state-of-the-art equipment, students will work as part of a team to solve the problems associated with creating a broadcast: equipment use, planning a broadcast, writing a script, and solving the problems involved in creating a finished broadcast. Sullins believes these broadcasts also will serve as a means to promote school events through a daily news program for the school and community, acting as an excellent public relations tool for the school. This broadcasting program is a means to help students achieve technological literacy - an essential in today’s global community.
