(From Laura Wilcoxon) (From Jacquie Henry) These blog posts of mine might help you. I highly recommend this as a way of engaging kids and bringing out their creativity. You will notice in these posts that I I say I knew nothing about creating videos. I am serious. I knew NOTHING. But you know something? The teacher and I were honest with the kids and told them that we were learning the program we used only days if not hours before teaching them. We presented the whole thing as a learning experience for all of us. It made a terrific collaborative project.
