Take a "virtual" tour of Petersburg High School

This was filmed by Alex Heston and Justin Thorsen and edited by Justin Thorsen. It takes you from the outside to the inside; through the commons and hallways to the gym and auditorium.

In Plain English Assignments

The "In Plain English" tutorials are becoming quite popular on the internet. The thought was, "Why not use these as models for video projects." Enjoy!

When the War Got Personal:

Videography Archive

The different projects from videography are archived here. Also included are portfolio pages for the more advanced students.

Students: As you are working on enhanced podcasts, here is a handy checklist of things that should be included in quality enhanced podcasts:

• Chapters (helps guide the audience through your topic)
• Podcast Artwork (represents what is going to be watched)
• Active urls...let your audience explore for further information
• Powerpoint slides really help communicate your essential information
• No extra at the end…when you are done the podcast should be done
• Sources cited slide (easy on a powerpoint slide)
• Pictures/Artwork/ppt slides should be sized accordingly
• Ducking of music behind narration

Foreign Exchange Student Recipies: Check out the recipes from the exchange students that have been at PHS. The most recent recipie we tried was Chicken Curry from India.
