For the First time in Neoga Jr.-Sr. High School’s history, the high school media class had the fortune to observe an interview via Skype. Skype is an online website that enables users to communicate through voice and video on the computer, through the use of webcams and microphones. Scott Licina spoke to the Media class at Neoga High School from his home in Chicago, Illinois. Scott is the previous owner of Fangoria magazine and multiple comic book publishing companies. He has also recorded musical selections for movie soundtracks, including the 30th anniversary edition of the horror classic, Night of the Living Dead. Overall, the reception from the Media class was very positive and they all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the whole experience. When asked how he felt about the process, Media teacher Mr. Gibson commented, “Technology allows professionals from all over the world to come into the classroom, and that is pretty cool.” It is a remarkable development that now at Neoga High School we can talk to people all over the world for the sake of enhancing education for the students.
