time span of a few class periods. The students will be creating this video to be
played in front of the classroom as well as to be published on the classroom blog for
parents to view. The teacher will assess the videos and provide feedback to the
students.

Brief Description of Learning Experience:

This project could not be completed without a multimedia

authoring tool. Technology is required to complete this project. Students will need to
be able to use a computer and interent to search for the components for the video.
Importance of technology:

Inspiration (optional):

Internet safety might be a concern for this project.

Students will be monitored while using the computers as well as the internet. The
students will not be including any personal information so there will be no privacy
concerns. I will minimize the safety risks and parent concerns by sending a letter
home to parents explaining the project and what it includes. The parents will need to
sign and return the letter.
