Just then, our Principal walked in with a smile on her face. She was in a good mood.
Long story short, the Media Specialist and myself convinced our Principal to buy a digital video camera and a digital still camera for each grade level. (I also agreed to help the Principal out with her own personal digital camera provided she brings it in. Should I be worried about what I’ve gotten myself into? … nah!)
This is all really good news. (Even the helping the Principal bit – I’m looking forward to the opportunity.) One of the biggest hurdles I’ve encountered with tech is finding room for it in the budget, and we have it. Now, we’ll have to move onto the next big problem.
Convincing the staff that the cameras should not only be used, but that it’s easy to use them.
I’ve a few ideas concerning what I could do, but I’d like to hear your ideas. If you had only 15 minutes to show other teachers a cool digital camcorder activity, what would you do?
