Xtra Normal - Movie Maker - 0 views

  •  
    This website is different than many that I have come across. It allows the user to choose characters, backgrounds, etc. and the dialogue. The website then takes the text and matches it up with the cartoonish characters mouth and creates a movie for you. This could be a great option for classrooms that do have the budget for digital cameras. This could be used in any grade level. however a greater amount of training would be required for younger grade levels.

    Getting files into the right format is a big deal in video production. Many formats are not accepted in the software we use (adobe premiere , etc.). Before importing some files may need to be converting to an adobe friendly format. Zamzar allows users to upload the file and will send them a copy in their email.

Viddler Online Video - 0 views

  •  
    This could be one option for teachers who are looking for a way to have their students post their videos online. Videos can be shared only with select people. The player could be posted on a classroom website and the video shown on it can be driven by what is submitted by the students. You can set security features so the videos won't be seen by the public. I would keep this resource limited to students in the high school level.

Emerald Ridge High School Video Production - 0 views

  •  
    Grade Level: 6-12 This is quite possibly my favorite go to website in my collection. I have been using this resource since my first day of teaching. Not only does this website offer a number of great assignments and resources, but the teacher is also quick to respond to any questions you might send his way. My first year teaching I came across this website and was in pretty regular contact with this teacher for the first couple months. I learned a solid foundation from his resources.
