Changes and first thoughts

Okay, so we have a big change already. My county's big Interactive White Board project is dead for the year due to budget problems. So the whiteboard training project is off.

Instead, I'll be doing a digtial studio project. Some basic ideas.

- create a training program for teachers to teach them:
- how to take and edit video themselves
- how to manage student video projects

- take a county-wide inventory of digtial video resources, including
- video cameras
- acessories (tripods, lights, ect.)
- stand alone editing machines
- software other than windows movie maker

- create a "digital studio," managed by myself or other tech facilitator, that can be taken to schools around the county to help students make movies. The studio will include:
- a laptop (or two) with editing software and storage space
- special effects software
- green screens
- lighting
- generic props?

More later on. I want to specifically work on the training for teacher. Video editing has a steep learning curve at the very beginning but later becomes much easier with practice. I want to specifically design the training to fit this.
