Thursday, June 3rd, 2010On Thursday May 27th, students in Ms. Sorensen’s project based class went on a trip to tour NBC studios.Mr. Gilbert Muro, one of our parents has worked as a technical director at NBC for over 25 years. As our tour guide, Mr. Muro took students behind the scenes. Students visited the set of Saturday Night Live, Dr. Oz, and the World News desk. Students were given a rare look at what it takes "behind the scenes" to produce a television show in the control rooms using state of the art technology. Many of the students in project based class have produced their own commercials and imovies, so this tour was especially helpful to them.
