In movie makers today we had a special guest stop by. Jack Johnson, illustrator of The Goonies, Big Fish, Jurassic Park 3, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissor hands. He saw that there was a movie making class and he stopped by to say hi yesterday, then came back today with a bunch of his drawings from movies and gave a talk about how movies are made! So cool to see people take the time to give back. Thanks

One of the basic skills students can learn is typing. No matter what profession a student chooses typing will be a part of their success. Many students will say, "I already know how to type." What professionals are seeing in the field is that students say they know how to type and then we see them pointing and pecking around the keyboard. The key is to get students motivated to type and work on the skill. Here are some resources that can do that. These sites contain typing lessons and games that can enterTRAIN students..

When the students are finished taking the photos, they can share those photos with you in multiple ways.
** Insert photos into a word document- You could have them type a short explanation of what the photo means to them.
** Put them together in a slide presentation
** Put them together in a movie making program like iMovie and set them to music.
***This project will take 1-2 hours and teaches students about photography, file management and digital storytelling.
