Websites

Video Copilot Video Copilot is a great website for my Video Production class. It is full of tutorials that will allow students to create new effects for their movies using Adobe After Effects. There is no way as a teacher I can learn and teach them everything they have on this site. I gave this website to my students and encouraged them to look for something that excited them and try it. A lot of the lessons are difficult, but there is a video that goes along with it where they can back up and listen to a section over and over.

[|Smart Board-Cross Curricular] The Tech Ed department at my school recieved a donation of a smart board a few years back. It has been sitting in a storage room because the other teachers didn't know how to use it. When I found it I made a goal of setting it up and putting it to use in the classroom. I have had a hard time finding lesson plans for the Tech Ed field, but the cross curricular seem to fit. There are ways of recording lessons for students and parents to reference later on, creating sub lessons, and many other cool ideas.
