I found it years ago and it only hit me recently how to use it effectively in one of my presentations. You see we have a huge achievement gender gap here in small town Ontario between girl and boy writers. o one of our district goals is to focus on Non-Fiction Boys writing. My job is to integrate technology and I think boys are a terrific target group so here's how I started off a presentation in the summer. Two visuals. The video from above and a comic strip where a teacher asks the class during the first day back to school, "Write what you did this summer". A boy in the front row responds, "Can't I just point you to my blog"? Both examples were a good starter for my hour long presentation on technology integrations for boys writing. If I can get the file size down I'll post the presentation at digitalstory.ca <abbr><em>Kents last blog post..<a href="http://digitalstory.ca/2008/07/digital-stories-from-blc-08.html" rel="nofollow">Digital Stories from BLC '08</a></abbr></em> This is a terrific video.

I'm thinking that might be a better option than more Digital8 cameras for my CPT students. <abbr><em>Ian H.s last blog post..<a href="http://www.marturia.net/blog/?p=3421" rel="nofollow">That could have been embarrassing…</a></abbr></em> Dean, where can you pick up inexpensive Flips?
