The Media Crew is a service group at Momilani Elementary in which students learn about teamwork, collaboration, and communication through authentic hands-on media based projects. These projects require students to be dynamic problem solvers while expressing a more creative side through the use of 21st century digital skills.
“You can't use up creativity.
The more you use, the more you have.”

Originally, this group was brought together to produce the school yearbook and now it has grown to include a school e-newsletter, and video production. By having students create the yearbook we hope to provide them with a greater sense of ownership and responsibility. This project includes learning computer literacy skills such as photo editing, page layouts, and file management. The learning goes beyond as well, students learn to work in teams, meet deadlines, and accomplish goals through perseverance.
Students will be able to make meeting times consistently.
Students will be able to work independently and collaboratively.
Students will be responsible for meeting deadlines.
Students will be able to maintain good academic standing.
Students will represent our school in a respectful and responsible manner.
Students will wear Momilani Media Crew identification when covering events.
Each month the Media Crew spends time to decide on articles for the school website. Each article team consists of a writer, editor, and photographer. Each has different responsibilities related to producing a quality article for the newsletter each month.
As we begin expanding our services to include video production, we are learning how to use the cameras, tripods, WeVideo, and positioning. We hope that soon we will be producing the drama performances, video interviews, and other projects.
