This morning saw my punctuality tested by a fellow intern who arrived to start working at 7:45. How can I possibly be the second one here with the shortest commute of walking down the stairs? Although still on time for my shift, I still felt late.
One of my research assignments for the day was learning about 1st generation iPad presentations. I learned how interactive and easier Keynote for iPad is and how effective it can be as demonstrated by Steve Jobs himself from all of his Apple presentations.
While Captured Time looks to cultivate young new minds, it has not lost its vision as a functioning farm. Along with cows and chickens, the farm also hosts a variety of plants, fruits, and vegetables. My next task was to research growing sweet potatoes in the area. I found out about different kinds of sweet potatoes and how they grow better depending on the area and maintenance. However, this was cut short when I was sent on an errand to the post office to deliver company packages, as well as a run to Stop N Shop to pick up other items needed for the production office.
Intern, Ryan O., was busy with social media today. While technology and media surround us at all times, the majority of us do not have the pleasure of knowing or realizing this simple fact. Ryan has the privilege to be fully immersed in social media and looking at it from various different angles and perspectives turning it into an advantage. His tasks included editing the podcast he recorded with Harvey, as well as designing new possible YouTube channel art.
Sharon D. led the editing team of Bryan W. and Alex M. outside to test different microphones for the best audio for an upcoming phone interview. Once back indoors she resumed logging a student Question & Answer period from our visit to Radcliffe Creek School. By the way, have you checked out our newest edition of “On The Road With Dislecksia: The Movie?” It’s all about our visit to the school and features an interview with founder, Molly Judge. You can check out the video here: (http://ow.ly/lTuha)
Bryan W. helped test audio equipment outside, and continued syncing audio and video for his piece on Stephen J. Cannell.
Alex M. also helped test microphones and worked on a dyslexic advocate piece from our time at the International Dyslexia Association Conference in Baltimore, MD.
Apparently beauty is not the only thing in the eye of the beholder. I’ve learned so far from my time at Captured Time that workload and progress could be classified as the same. Workload remains unknown and misunderstood to the untrained eye.
