I think it would be great if the school encouraged non traditional media skills. Most kids have a cell phone that will create short videos, or a digital camera that will film short films. How about teaching students how to upload these into a free program that will allow them to make a movie to tell a story. We could get some really cool projects that would allow students to have a lot of fun. If they have to write out the shot list and think out their movie before they make it, there can be some really great critical thinking they can display. Id like to see the students have to submit the work they put into the film BEFORE they make the film and then turn in the film.
