ToolsYouTube, Vimeo, or school/class website
Upload to Google Drive
A Few Tools & TipsStoryboards should be created
Rubrics are the preferred method of assessment
Be sure to credit all images, music, and video clips or use free, creative commons materials (still need to be cited).
Upload and share to… YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Facebook pages, etc.
Mistakes will be made, don’t panic! Just like other assignments, these can be edited and updated.
Also…
For students…Digital book trailers/reports
Tutorials (Students like learning from each other)
Green screen
For teachers…Digital Demonstrations of tasks (Art, Science)
Tutorials (Math Problems)
Curriculum Materials (Make your own!)
Example:
“The Oregon Trail”Students make the props, write the scripts, record the scenes, and edit the final product. This was made with a Flip Cam and Windows Movie Maker.
