Homework due before class (Monday, October 1, or Tuesday, October 2) at 3:00 p.m.:
  1. Upload your video footage to your Movies folder
  2. Upload all of your still images to a new folder in iPhoto (you can upload them to your Pictures folder and then drag them to your newly created folder in iPhoto).
  3. Upload your music to your iTunes folder
  4. We will be editing your Movies using iMovie starting next week. To be successful, you'll need all of your files in the proper location. GOOD LUCK!

Do your students have access to UnitedStreaming They have GREAT AFI resources. Lights, Camera, Education has a super teacher guide for digital storytelling. I can put you in touch with some folks at Discovery if you would like to get permission to use these resources. The activities are AMAZING!!!
