CPAD Corner (October 2012)

CPAD Alhambra Headquarter - Creative Audio-Visual Technology Class

Last year (2011-2012), CPAD had conducted a pilot technology-learning class where a limited number of karaoke students, with the help of a few parents and volunteers, produced a karaoke-like DVD. In the production process, students learned how to use a laptop computer to import and manipulate photos into a Powerpoint slide show. All the students had the opportunity to sing with that karaoke DVD in 2 public performance.  Because of popular demand, we decided to continue this class this year (2012-2013), to be officially called the "Creative Audio Visual Technology" class. All the students will work on a project to produce a DVD containing video clips of their daily life. If your children (15 years or older) are interested, please contact Michael: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
