September 1st, 2009: Blog Assignment #1: Welcome to Blogland

Now that you have signed up, please spend some time looking around. Pick through the archives in order to get a sense of what is discussed here. Look at the stories. Watch some videos. Follow some links. Simply nose around. Feel free to comment on items you see. This is the only free-form blog I run. In other words, on no other blog are students invited to use the blog for communication about a subject. You are welcome to even post new ideas, links, etc as long as they are:
1. follow all the guidelines of Oakcrest High School
2. clean & free of obscene or lewd material. 
3. are not intimidating, mean or malicious
As you will come to see, when viewed on the OHS server, the blog is forced into restrictions, namely with Youtube, Facebook and other on-line communities.
At the end of each year, two members of the outgoing film institute class will be invited to become blog administrators. Administrators can make editorial decisions about the blog's contents, layout, design and marketing. They also moderate comments and are contacted of any publsihed items and materials.  This year's student blog administrators span the globe: Cassandra Nguyen (Northwestern University) and Alexander Peralejo (Arizona State University)
Once you get acquainted, please read the commentary posted below (Outdated Summer Flicks from Entertainment Weekly) and come in prepared to discuss tomorrow.
