Thirty teachers from across the map journeyed to Springfield, MO for the 2018 ASB Workshop for broadcast and video teachers.  After five days of presentations, field work, writing, editing, and the big finale--two magazine shows created in about 36 hours--the attendees walked away better prepared for the coming school year.  How do we know?  We checked Twitter:

"Feeling empowered after Day 1 of  #asbworkshop. Learned ways to impart technique from seasoned teachers, collaborated w/others on lesson ideas & witnessed the magic of a local news broadcast."

"Incredible week at the #ASBWorkshop Everything I needed to reenergize my program!"

"Here we go - at #ASBWorkshop learning from best to bring the best back for our @AquinasNation students."

"@AshleyReynolds Thanks for taking time to share your reporting tips and guidelines with our #ASBworkshop group today.  I really appreciate your sharing Mia's story and Mia's Mission." 

Teachers worked on four separate assignments during the 2018 ASB Workshop. Edit bays at Hillcrest High School, home of HTV Magazine, were humming throughout the week.  Teachers worked on four separate assignments during the 2018 ASB Workshop.

Dave Davis started a Broadcast Journalism class at Hillcrest High School in the fall of 1989. Since then, the school's student-produced show, "HTV Magazine," has become one of the nation's most-honored high school broadcasts.

In an effort to provide valuable, useful, hands-on instruction to broadcast teachers from across the nation, Davis founded ASB Workshop in the summer of 2000. Since then, the week-long workshop has provided training for hundreds of high school and middle school teachers from 47 states, plus Mexico, England, South Korea, and Japan.
