South Fremont High School Business Technology department was just awarded a $2000 technology grant from Idaho Education Technology Association on February 8th, 2023 during their 2023 IETA Ed Tech conference.
This grant money will go towards purchasing an industry standard field video camera and an audio mixer/studio equipment. This equipment will go along with the microphones the program previously purchased to create the "SFHS Cougar Broadcast" program to teach students industry skills and real life experience in video and podcast production and the career field of broadcasting.
Ms. Sudweeks' Sports and Entertainment Marketing class have been learning about Target Market and what information you can and should collect and use to specifically reach a group of people to sale a product to.
To demonstrate this knowledge, the students chose a specific sporting or entertainment event and selected a specific category of person who would most likely attend that event and created a target profile about them. They then brought the person alive by creating a paper cutout of them and including products this target market would most likely purchase.
The kids had a blast and learned that "the more you know about people, the more easily you can convince them to attend your event or purchase items connected to the event and the more money you can make as a business."
We took a few minutes to write a thank you note to a teacher who really helped us out last semester!
I love seeing the kids really get into this activity. They get creative, but more importantly, they take that time to express appreciation, which is good for their mental health. And they take time to thoughtfully write, which is a skill in and of itself!
The drivers ed class at South Fremont High School will start with a mandatory parent meeting on Wednesday, February 15 @ 6:00 pm in the high school Little Theater. The classroom portion begins Thursday, Feb. 16 @ 6:00 am., in room 210.
