OK, so we may not be ready for the big screen just yet, but the skills these students have acquired through the video production process are amazing! Besides learning how to utilize various tools and programs—Flip Cameras, Audacity and Movie Maker—these 10-12 year olds are becoming quite adept at developing a setting, theme, script, lyrics and music based on a given topic. And then factor in the motivation and enthusiasm projects like these generate! Cool stuff!

Stay tuned for the results of the contest…
