A tutorial example: An Interesting Video Done by DJIS Grade 9 Students

Grade 9 students were able to produce various video genres in the 2008-2009 academic year. The videos range from commercial videos to documentaries. One interesting video clip is one that role plays the characters at the end scene in Edgar Allan Poe's horror short story " The Cask of Amontillado" only with the students' own version. They demonstrated mastery in video editing and publishing teamed with great critical thinking design.

Now it is your turn. I want you to write a post title "Testing my posting skills : ( insert the title of you posting here) " with embedding a video from youtube, vimeo, schooltube, facttube, ed.tv or powerpoint from slideshare, or posts form glogster using the embed code. You 'll have to write at least a five line text describing the content of the "media" and commenting on it. This will be you first post so take time to make it right. Later posts will be dealing with our classroom teaching and most will be graded
