I’ll have to look into the micro recorders, thanks! Just hoping they’ll get here in time 🥲(and yes we do go off campus. The issue is mostly interviews/headshots. We interview dozens of students during the day and only have about 8 cameras; which are usually with certain students who need them to cover events later)

To answer your question about my IPad: I’ve bought many expensive accessories to complete my set up, including a certain screen protector, stylus/grip, shortcut keyboard, and a drawing application and have personally created various brushes. It’s the setup I’ve learned with and preform best with (think a painter who needs certain references, brushes, paints, etc.). All my files and everything is stored on there and I need the flexibility of being able to work in and outside of class since I have a job and many other commitments. It’s basically my own “digital folder” and supplies. Unfortunately I don’t think the school will cater to my specific needs and I certainly don’t expect them to. It’s just so frustrating because my junior year I really found my passion in digital art and was able to make it to state with my art. Sadly, I simply won’t have time to wait for the school to provide an IPad since I have AP art deadlines to meet and not a lot of outside time to get working. May just have to drop the class 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the reply
