One way to bring elements of my internship experience to the classroom would be having a media x-block. We could possibly have an HTHI-TV YouTube channel. It could feature the HTH sports, different clubs (improv, robotics, etc.), upcoming events, and announcements. It would probably be between 5-10 minutes total. This would help teach about the importance of deadlines as well as teamwork.
My internship is very hands on. I believe that my most significant role is helping put together pieces. I'm thankful that my mentor has enough confidence in me to consider my input. When he lets me get behind the metaphoric wheel, he asks me why I choose each clip. When I suggested something that he disagrees with, he never failed to explain why his clip works for the situation which helps me grow as an editor. I also contributed to my workplace by pulling cord, setting up the light, and carrying the tripod.
My work as an intern is meaningful to me because it shows a glimpse of the real world as opposed to school. In school, if I turn in homework late, it is usually taken with a lower grade. In news, and probably other professions, you absolutely cannot miss deadlines. Everything moves at such a fast pace in news that running a minute behind sets back the rest of the show. Another difference between school and news is quality. If I do poorly on a test, I am able to redo it or "just do better" next time. If you, for example, forget to test the connection, mic, or lip sync before a live shot, it reflects poorly on yourself and makes the whole station look bad and unprofessional.
