Other Student-made Videos....
a) Mr. McCreary - high school Sociology - introductory video to elective course, made using Camtasia b) Walton Farm Wildcat News - 6th grade, student-made news program, made using iMovie c) Date Her or Hate Her - Pennbrook Middle School - digital storytelling, cyber-bullying video, Made with Final Cut Pro d) 11th grade English thematic presentation - Mrs. McKee's student-made Animoto e) Student-Made Cybersafety Videos: Check out several of the 2011 productions made possible by a grant from Verizon f) Podcasts: Here are a few of our own weekly tech tips podcasts: podcasting, Skype, All of the AIC tech tips

In our opinion, it's not about how great it looks as a final product; it's about the content first, and also about getting students working with multimedia!

Stop-Motion Video
