Showcase Our School

The fourth grade is teaming up with other schools across the United States to showcase our school. This project will expose our students to digital photography, voice recordings, and basic photo/movie editing techniques. Each class will put together one voicethread about our school, and each student will put together their own video about the life of a fourth grade student using Windows Movie Maker.

To begin, each student was paired with a partner and given a specific area of the school to take pictures of using the digital cameras. We learned how to upload pictures and how to move folders. Next, we created avatars for our voicethread profiles. Currently, we are working on our scripts. Our scripts will help us when we do our voice recordings. Lastly, we will be using Movie Maker to make our videos. This is going to take us several weeks, but it's going to be a lot of fun!

Check back soon to watch some of our videos.
