We use videography as a vehicle for integrating technology into our curriculum. Our students are introduced to videography in the first grade through the Basic Videography class. In this class, the students are familiarized with the technical terminology for the videography equipment. They are also given instruction in the fundamentals of in-front-of and behind-the-camera operations.

By third grade our students are prepared to enroll in the Advanced Videography class where they learn more advanced techniques such as research, preparation for interviews, storyboards, camera shots, on-site and off-site set-up and conducting interviews. Through a collaborative effort with The People's Channel in Chapel Hill, the students are able to gain experience producing a show in an actual studio setting. The videography classes are taught by Ted Mangum who has over twenty-five years of experience in the field of videography. He is assisted by one of his former students, videographer Nicole Brown. The Advanced Videography students, under the direction and supervision of Bro. Mangum and Sis. Brown, produce an award-winning weekly television program, "Omuteko TV," which airs at 5:30 pm on Tuesdays on Cable 8 in Durham, and on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays on the People's Channel in Chapel Hill and Orange County. In addition to providing an invaluable learning experience for our students, "Omuteko TV" provides us with an opportunity to serve our community by airing informative programming that reflects the interests and concerns of local residents.
