Seaman High broadcasting students run new gym video board; program plans media day to expand content
Summary
Seaman High School broadcasting students described how they learned Daktronics software, produced player—eature and "hype" videos for basketball, and operated the gym video board at games; the program will run a dedicated media day next year to capture content for more sports.
Seaman High School faculty and students demonstrated the practical learning and community engagement coming from the new gym video board during the Seaman USD 345 board meeting on April 14.
Miss Boggs, the high-school broadcasting instructor, and students Brecken and Connor described starting the program "from ground zero," learning Daktronics software with vendor support and producing hype videos and player features used on the gym—oard. The students helped set up equipment, trained on back-end software and, during basketball season, worked a rotation of games so each student gained hands-on experience operating graphics and cues during live events.
Nut graf: Staff said the project is an applied-learning opportunity that teaches technical production skills while increasing in-game engagement for the school community. Students reported that producing green-screen player features and running game-day graphics has deepened their interest and sharpened practical skills.
What students and staff told the board - Implementation: Miss Boggs said district staff and a Daktronics technician provided initial training; students then learned by practice and iteration. - Workflow: Students produced green-screen player features and team hype videos, coordinated with coaches for player availability, and staffed games with assignment rotations so most students operated board graphics at least once. - Plans: The program plans a formal "media day" next year (during school hours) to capture multiple backdrops and standardized shots to reduce off-hours work and increase content quality.
The board praised the students and encouraged the program—ontinuation; administrators said the class experience supports career-readiness and local community engagement.
