Ask Mr. Z Blog for Adobe Visual Communicator

My students came up with a new show concept-- and we are really pleased with the results thus far.  When asked what kinds of shows can we create that would be of broad interest, the students responded with a variety of ideas.  Since the swine flu is a hot topic now, we decided to focus on health related shows.  Thus a new show was born-- the "Healthy Living Show".

Here is an example:

We even experimented with using Google Docs in a collaborative way, so all students shared a document and brainstormed ideas, and then reserved their topic so all could see (and to prevent duplicate project topics).  We really like what Google Apps for education offers, so watch for more coming this school year as we dive into using Google apps.

Recently we began using our handy Flip Video Mino cameras for recording our pledge segments.  Our Tech TV crew kids love using them, as they can do onsite video recording, and then bring footage back for use in Adobe Visual Communicator.

Watch an example in the video below, our pledge segment is about 40 seconds in:
