FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE VIDEO FOCUS

 
 


    We will be working on writing  and producing activities that will support the school. Students will use iMovie, iDVD,  iPhoto, Comic Life, macbooks, and canon digital cameras.

     Students will produce movies to enter in the annual Jim Harbin Educational Media contest.

        In addition to making movies the video focus students will produce Perk Kids TV live morning show. They will work behind the scenes to make the show happen.
