Kids' Vid is an instructional web site that gives teachers and students the tools necessary to implement video production in the classroom. Video production can be intimidating to the novice. Not to worry. It is nothing more than a method for recording research and expressing creative ideas. Video production, if properly implemented, is more than a new toy for students. It provides the tools and the means for students to create and display serious work in a new, exciting and engaging way that is appropriate for all age groups and abilities. This is a place for serious fun.

Digital Storytelling - Part I
Storytelling has been a great part of our school year, which is already winding down. From…
* telling about our and Jose, the travel bear 's adventurous stories live while in Egypt
* outfitting EVERY classroom in our school with their own digital cameras, so teachers and students could create a visual of their daily activities or create a visual of a learning concept
* creating a collective knowledge story across grade level and subject areas demonstrating what students have learned
* Life 'Round Here project, where students assumed the point of view of an object and narrated
* Creating printed books that narrate the daily life in the classroom, special visits and fieldtrips and the physical and academic growth of the students throughout the year.
My school has decided visual literacy will be the focus for next year. My job is to create a pre-assessment tool to find out where the staff is in their skills as it pertains to visual literacy. I need to ask 5-7 questions only.
I'm looking for suggestions. What should I be asking?
