Long Description:

Video production is simple, inexpensive and chock full of rich instructional opportunities that address the diverse learning styles of your students! This workshop will focus on two PC-based applications – Pinnacle Studio 8 and Windows Movie Maker 2.0. Participants will examine classroom integration examples from simple still-picture narratives to full productions using single classroom computers to full lab work. Video production provides a context for student collaboration, the ability to address a wide diversity of learning styles, a buy-in for under-performing students, and a medium which can inspire higher-level thinking through hands-on project learning.
