Collaboration among facilitators has been part of EAST from the beginning. Through a partnership with The Wellington Initiative, EAST has launched an organized Professional Learning Community (PLC) that delivers a structured experience throughout each calendar year, where ideas are shared and relationships are created.
To modernize Dardanelle High School's outdated athletic coverage, students Gavin Etheredge, Harper Williams, William Taylor, Maddox Mitchell, and Judd Carter, alongside advisors Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Hickman, formed a dedicated media team to produce the Lizards Live Broadcast. Operating both from the sidelines for close-up action and the press box for live switching, students create engaging pre-game and half-time shows complete with custom interviews and graphics. To run the broadcast, the team relies on OBS for video streaming and production, Canva for graphic design, Microsoft Clipchamp for video editing, and Overlays App for real-time scores and clocks. Beyond the YouTube stream, the project expands its community reach through an audio partnership with KCJC radio, featuring voices Mark Thone and Kent Tallent. To execute each broadcast, students plan content during pre-production, set up and test their technical feeds using OBS and Overlays App prior to kickoff, manage live roles during the event, and utilize Clipchamp afterward for post-production content—delivering a professional, accessible viewing and listening experience for the entire community.
To transform the educational experience so innovative thinkers can drive positive change for their future, community, and world.
