Supporting the most effective use of technology in classrooms and schools
Media moves up the engagement scale when kids and their content move, literally, onto the screen. An in-depth look at chromakey (green screen) on both Mac's and PC's. Chromakey allows students (and teachers) to edit themselves into curriculum videos. With technology that used to be reserved for TV studios, teachers and students go where they couldn't go before. With either stills or videos, enter a cell, a battlefield, a geometric figure or the world of battling dinosaurs. Captioning allows them to describe, transcribe, or transform media while emphasizing literacy skills (Note: captioning is friendlier on a PC).
