iPad Movie-Making
Anyone who has seen my classroom in action knows that my students spend just as much time moving around as they do sitting at a desk. iPads are truly an awesome step forward in technology, because kids are able to make movies with even greater ease. Filming used to mean toting around MacBooks in order to use the iSight camera, and the safety of the device was always a concern. So, being able to hand a student an iPad and turn them loose to become Spielberg has been a refreshing development in Room 208 movie-making. Check out the Prezi on this page to learn more.
