THINK ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT - you need to balance subjects, I will NOT accept 'I had c/w' and 'I had to prepare for my mock' - get your other work done!!!!!! you HAVE to film during day on weekends!

EDITING BEGINS at 3:45, NOT 4pm after you've had a KFC - this will stop now!



P5:
-experiment with 'screencast-o-matic.com' or 'screencast.com' - try to trial on your preliminary
-experiment with Youtube annotations - try on one of your drafts
-experiment with iMovie themes (newscast, film strip etc)
-experiment with podomatic.com/login for podcasts
-experiment with Quick Time player (screen recorder)

P6: complete any editing - Due by 5pm and I'll mark them tonight - save quicktime 'Group __ Draft 3' on the desktop

Homework:  play with any of the above tools if you didn't finish P5/P6, plan some evaluation questions
