We won!

During the month of November, Mr. Harris created a contest for teachers and students. He challenged us to use available technology to teach others about November's character education focus, responsibility. I wrote a couple of skits as Reader's Theater scripts. Students decided they would like to choose roles and act out the scripts for filming. We had a blast! We used a Flip Camera from the library to record the skits. I put edited and put them together using iMovie on my new laptop. Students came up with Responsibility Dos and Don'ts. We submitted the video with our fingers crossed. Mr. Harris stopped by on Monday, December 5th to inform us that our video was chose as one of the winners! We won a Flip Cam to use in our classroom. We're very excited! We can't wait to find ways to use it in our classroom.
