Video Storytelling -  Overview
In this project webmasters will reach out to students across the globe in a new project involving video storytelling, communication skills and media literacy. Students will work in teams to create a 1-2 minute video that relates elements of their culture or life in Alaska. Once the video has been created, students will have the option to enter their videos in the 2005 Ididamovie contest and participate in audio and video conferences with other participating schools. In creating the video stories, students will learn new video & sound editing equipment & technology and learn to communicate effectively in digital video format.
