Do have a favorite classroom activity or unit project that could use a face lift? Do you think that creating projects through the use of scissors, glue and tape is becoming obsolete for students learning in the 21st century? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this session is for you! This session will teach you the fundamental concepts and skills needed to create your own vodcasts; which is a 21st century technology that will enable your students to turn their old paper posters and project boards into a real movie that can be used for classroom presentation. Teachers in this session will create their own Vodcasts using Windows Movie Maker and also will be shown various methods to share these files within their classrooms through the use of Microsoft Power Point and blogs.
