What is my Senior Project?
K.ihei C.harter N.ews N.etworkKCNN, or the Kihei Charter News Network is a news network that was made for Kihei Charter almost 4 years ago. The first season was actually really good we looked forward to watching the new KCNN episode every week. Then once the new guys came in to film for the second season KCNN fell off a deep end. I wanted to bring the spark back. If I could inspire one kid at least to keep KCNN going then I think that's cool. I just wanted the kids of Kihei Charter to get the news in a fun way. The first, second and third season of KCNN all had co-hosts but for my fourth season I was all alone, it was me against the whole school but I made it work. This project is still on going and growing as we speak, I will finish my season at the end of this school year but my legacy will live on.

My 21st Century Skills
Throughout my experience with KCNN, I have grown and stretched out of my comfort zone and I have stayed without my own abilities. Working by myself on this project I have grown my self-directional skills. Every week I need to go out and find information for my new episode. Not only this, but I need to go and talk to other teachers and students to see if I can get a special guest or even do a skit or talk about an up-and-coming event. Then, once I have all of the information I am going to put into the episode, I go and film and edit by myself. No one was telling me every week to do it, I needed to find the motivation myself. All of this combined has helped me grow my self-directional skills, but that isn't the only 21st century skill I grew upon.
Going and talking to different students and teachers every week helped me grow my informational skills and being behind the camera helped me with my communication skills. Honestly, I can keep on going and end up listing every 21st-century skill, but I think that just shows you how much I have learned and grown from this project. I am going to keep using the skills I have learned in my future if I ever need to film or edit any videos. Not only with filming and editing though I am going to be able to get retain and relay new information in a decent way to other people.
