Live-streaming Volleyball Games CAS Proj. 10/30/20 (LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5)

 Aside from tennis, I've been doing some things that are more related to service rather than activity. One thing that I've been doing is helping live-stream the boys' and girls' volleyball home games at the Bisonnett campus since no in-person spectators are allowed as a result of the coronavirus. I was one of the people asked to do this since I am in the class for film at school, and I have some experience with a camera. All I needed to do was get familiar with the live-streaming software that staff members from school provided me with, and I would be able to keep live-streaming until all of the volleyball home games were completed. The first live-stream ended up being successful, however, one thing we didn't get to work on in time was the on-screen game score. Hopefully next time we'll be able to do that, nonetheless, the live-stream was still a success since people were able to watch the game successfully.

Live-streaming Volleyball Games CAS Proj. 11/19/20 (LO2, LO4, LO5)

 Today is the last game that will be live-streamed as it is the end of the volleyball season. Overall, I thought I did okay with setting everything up. I noticed that on youtube, a lot of other school sporting events were being live-streamed were getting recommended. I became curious to see how others went about live streaming one of their games. For example, I believe one of the ones I found was a basketball game from The Kinkaid School. It looked like they had a pretty standard view of the basketball court, similar to one you would find on television. A lot of what they had wasn't really possible in our gym as ours is not really like a stadium layout. To get the live stream similar to Kinkaid's I would have to place the camera on a small ledge above the basketball court where the speakers are. That certainly would have been a lot more difficult to set up. Nonetheless, I thought what we had was good enough. All the feedback I received was good, and no one had any problems with...

Tennis 12/9/20 CAS (LO1, LO2, LO4)

 Similar to last year, I've been doing volunteer work at the tennis academy since this is the time of year when new players join the academy. This month I did some fairly minor things, I showed the new players the warmup and recovery stretches we do. Additionally, I showed several players around the facilities so that they know where to go whenever they arrive for practice. Other than that, I practiced myself in order to prepare for a tournament that I signed up for. I did not play very well. I should mention that I did not favor the conditions. It was around 40 degrees Fahrenheit and very windy. Fortunately, I won my first match fairly easily. We had to play short sets due to the weather and the score was 4-1. 4-1. I lost my second match in a tiebreaker, the score was 2-4, 4-0, and 8-10 in the tiebreaker. Although I lost, it was a very close match. I have learned a lot from this tournament, and I hope to apply what I've learned to my game next time I play.  LO1, LO2, LO4

NHS Individual Proj. 4/9/2020 CAS (LO2, LO4, LO6, LO7)

Things have certainly changed since I was beginning to plan out how I would move forward with my individual project. In the last blog, I wrote about how I went to help out at a presentation for breast cancer patients. At the presentation, I met a focus group and talked with them for a little bit. For my project, I was hoping to create cards of kindness with designs and drawings from other students at school. I am not very skilled at drawing myself, so I was hoping I could involve other students from school with my project that way. However, due to the new COVID-19 guidelines, I've been told that I can't do the project anymore. COVID-19 guidelines require that students do not attend school in person, and my project involved bringing materials to students so that they could work on designing cards for the focus group I met at the presentation. For now, I've been told not to worry about the project. Hopefully, everyone is able to return to in-person learning in the next couple...
