The Daily Planet prioritizes neighborhood news—but what's a neighborhood? Is Urban Bean in "CARAG" or "Calhoun" or "Lyn-Lake" or "Uptown" or "South Minneapolis"? All of the above? Join associate editor Jay Gabler for a discussion of how Twin Cities neighborhoods break down, and how we cover them. Any and other topics related to the Daily Planet and our news coverage are also open for discussion! Look for the laptop with the Freaky Deeky sticker.

In these two hours, instructor Ben McGinley will go over the very basics of Apple's iMovie program. We will learn the iMovie ('09-'11, not iMovie 6) interface and its accompanying tools. You will learn how to use these tools to import footage, add cool titles and transitions, and choose accompanying music of your choice from your iTunes library. By the end of the class, you will have an understanding of basic media management and editing that will give you confidence when editing your own movies.
