Creating a Video Newsletter
I recently read the book and blog "Your School Rocks: Passionately Pitch and Promote the Positives Happening on Your Campus." The authors shared a simple way to publish video newsletters and I was instantly inspired. You will now see a green screen and tripod in my office that are accessible to you and your students should you also want to do something similar or have your own idea. You can read about the process on their blog at: http://www.yourschoolrocks.com/2015/10/creating-video-newsletter.html
You can view a project I did with two members of service and leadership club in the video below. This project took less than 10 minutes of editing time from the moment they finished recording until I uploaded it and shared it on YouTube. If you are interested. I'd be happy to show you how or you can watch the videos in the link from above.
