I've been teaching the Blogging 101 and Videoblogging Production courses here at CCTV during the past year. I'm thinking about dropping the Blogging 101 course in favor of proposing an Audio Podcasting course for our training program.

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm a new CCTV intern for the Summer of 2008. This summer's intern group calls itself the SMITE team. We take on specific projects and zero in on completing them in short amount of time. We work on public service announcements (PSA's), promotional videos, archiving, logging and pretty much any other job that the CCTV staff require. We have just completed a rough edit of the Cambridge Reads program and are currently working on a new promo video for CCTV and are editing a project for OCBC.
