Gainesville High School teacher Steve Lawhorne’s broadcast classes have received some new equipment, thanks to a donation from Kroger through U.S. Education TV. The students plan to use this studio equipment, which includes new cameras and monitors, to offer live streaming of athletic events, college scholarship signings and other school activities. “A big problem was signing, whenever the students would sign for the University of Georgia or whosoever,” Lawhorne said, explaining that in the past family members, friends and fellow students would crowd into the school’s media center to witness the scholarship signing. Now, his students will video the moment.
