Judges comments

�  It was a real pleasure to watch the category award winning videos . There was a wonderful variety of innovative outcomes. It is great to be able to see technology through the eyes of students after they have researched it and on a global scale. There were videos that nearly brought tears, videos that made me laugh and other videos that had wonderful learning opportunities. Some very deserving videos did not make it through to the overall winners stage as music sources, images and video clips were not cited. It is important that this is done as copyright issues may arise. It is also important to acknowledge the students who provided the outsourced clips. Congratulations to all the winners and to all who participated in this exciting project.

Design and Technical

�  The videos were well planned and thought out with few technical glitches. There was variety in presentation, transitions, mixes of mulit-media and a number of tools were used to publish the final outcomes. Some videos featured music mixes to great effect and sound effects often added to the engagement of the audience.

Synthesis and Construction of Ideas

�  It was great to see the creativity and innovation in the finalist videos. There were a variety of themes from stories to first person narratives through to innovation and prediction. Some great quotes were mentioned to enforce the themes. The evidence of collaboration is always extra special as this is a highlight and evidence of being involved in Flat Classroom Projects. However, it is always important to credit this. Content was well edited, organized and presented. Again it is always essential to ensure that featured work is royalty or copyright free and that urls are provided to credit the sources of music, images and video clips.
